Thorsten Pohl reassigned AAAA-25:
---------------------------------
Assign To: Thorsten Pohl (was: Matthias Bohlen)
> Think about communication infrastructure between plug-ins and runners
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AAAA-25
> URL: http://jira.andromda.org/browse/AAAA-25
> Project: AndroMDA 4
> Type: Task
> Components: Technical utilities
> Reporter: Peter Friese
> Assignee: Thorsten Pohl

> In order to be able to provide meaningful feedback to users during long
> running operations, we should think about a communication channel for sending
> progress information.
> For A3, Chad and I once discussed using some special kind of Log4J appender
> to grab the log messages being issued by the various parts of AndroMDA.
> However, I'd like to have a dedicated communication channel in A4 that's
> designed by purpose.
> Here are my ideas:
> a) provide an interface IProgress with methods beginTask(String message, int
> overalAmount) and worked(int amount). Plug-ins that implement this interface
> can easily call these methods to send their progress info to the AndroMDA
> engine. The AndroMDA engine should then provide an extension point
> "progressProvider" that can be implemented by some other plug-ins. These
> plug-ins can then grab those progress messages and display them appropriately
> for the respective frontend technology (Eclipse / Maven / cmdline).
> b) Provide an API that plug-ins can use to create a progress context in which
> they can send progress message just like in option (a). The distribution of
> the progress information would then be handled in the way described above.
> Any other thoughts?
