[jira] Commented: (UIMA-1947) Replace Corpus Explorer with the Project Explorer

["Jörn Kottmann (JIRA)" <de...@uima.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-1947?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12935842#action_12935842 ] 

Jörn Kottmann commented on UIMA-1947:
-------------------------------------

A way to simplify the migration to CNF could be to remove the Cas Editor project, and
solely rely on the non Cas Editor project support. This would greatly reduce the complexity
which is introduced by the corpus and cas processor folder elements.

In order to have equal functionality the Cas Processor (or PEAR) integration must
be changed to be compatible with non Cas Editor Projects.

> The Cas Editor has its own navigator view called the Corpus Explorer, this view should be replaced with the Project Explorer from the 
> Common Navigator Framework (CNF). The reason it was not built on CNF in the first place is that CNF was not available when then Corpus Explorer
> was written.
> There are a few good reasons to switch to CNF: 
> - Many things will just be replaced by CNF functionality. These are for example basic functionality like, copy, paste, move,
> delete, rename a file. The missing (UIMA-556) drag and drop support will be available trough CNF.
> - The structure of a CAS (important for multi-view support, UIMA-572) will be available to other projects which do not use the Cas Editor project nature.
> - And Cas Editor projects could be viewed with all its content along with other projects also exposing a deeper structure like java projects.
> - The dependency on the org.eclipse.ui.ide plugin will be obsolete, making the Cas Editor easier to integrate into RCP applications.
