I will show if the shared-ldap LDIF utils could be used for the LDIF editor. Does it makes sense to move the DSML parser to ldap-shared?
There are some issues with big files in eclipse (see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&product=&content=big+large+files). If we want to use the eclipse features (syntax coloring folding, content assistence) this could be a real problem. The LDIF editor currently rejects files bigger than 1MB. > 6.) > Is there a plan to migrate the build environment to maven or would > we keep > ant? > > > I already tried to migrate to maven a few weeks ago and I got some > issues regarding the internal Eclipse computed dependencies (that are > necessary to build and run tests on plugins but should not be exported > in the plugin itself since those dependencies will be supplied by the > Eclipse platform or the RCP app).
