Gogo help command

Hello,

Currently I am working on a new console for Equinox, which is based on Gogo. I would like to know what do you think about moving the help command from gogo.command bundle to gogo.runtime?
The help command displays both the built-in gogo commands and the user-defined commands. So even if the gogo commands are not available (e.g. the gogo.command bundle is not installed), the help command is still useful in displaying help for the user defined commands as long as the gogo.runtime bundle is active.

Regards,
Lazar

Thanks Richard,

This would be fine. Then it is not necessary to open a new bug for moving the help command. When do you plan to fix this bug?

I would be ok with that. The real issue, from my point of view, is that 
it seems like we should unify the 'type' and 'help' commands (the former 
is built in and serves a similar purpose)...we have a bug for this:

If we create a combined type/help command, I think it makes sense to 
have that as a built-in command, since it provides a basic/general 
mechanism to learn about any available commands. Otherwise, though, I do 
agree that most commands should provided externally. At this point, 
though, I don't really see the need to introduce yet another command bundle.

Essentially, my proposal would be to combine type/help and put in the 
runtime. Look at the existing "built-in" commands and remove any that 
aren't absolutely necessary. Any removed commands could be added to 
either Gogo Command or we could put them in another command bundle.

Re: Gogo help command

The gogo.runtime bundle did once contain commands that were thought to be
generally useful, but we stripped these out so that gogo.runtime now only
implements the draft OSGi RFC-147. This allows it to be used elsewhere
without any "extra" commands not contained in RFC-147.

Maybe the help command (and possibly other non-gogo/felix specific commands)
should be moved into a new bundle gogo.core?
