Hey Mario, Eclipse might be one area, but EMF is part of the Eclipse Modeling Toolset, so it's a completely separate API from what Eclipse Core uses (Although a lot of other projects, like BIRT, use it).
EMF loads Model files used in code generation, etc. so I'm guessing that was their initial goal for the API. So if for instance VFS had a URI Facade like EMF does, perhaps EMF could just switch to VFS, and VFS would get documentation taken care of there (If it's not already, I need to play with it more) while EMF gets a richer URI API... Just hypothesizing... The guys on the EMF tools mailling list are super friendly and helpful, and someone usually responds within five minutes, so I'm sure they would be hear from the VFS team. If you did want to look at the source, here are the CVS parameters: Connection Type: pserver host: dev.eclipse.org Repository Path: /cvsroot/tools User: anonymous Then just scroll down to org.eclipse.emf Cheers, - Ole --- Mario Ivankovits <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi! > > > http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.emf.doc/references/javadoc/org/eclipse/emf/common/util/class-use/URI.html > > > Hmmm ... for what I can see you can directly > reference a file (even > within an archive) but then there are some basic > things missing: > > * list of children > * rename/move operations > * meta data handling > etc > > Without looking at the source, maybe it could be > possible to create a > VFS backed URI implementation, though, from some > previous discussions > about using VFS in eclipse it turned out that they > implemented a high > performance native code local filesystem > implementation.
