Sachin Patel updated GERONIMODEVTOOLS-1:
----------------------------------------
Component: eclipse-plugin
> Geronimo Tooling: migrate UI to EMF.edit framework
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GERONIMODEVTOOLS-1
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMODEVTOOLS-1
> Project: Geronimo-Devtools
> Type: New Feature
> Components: eclipse-plugin
> Reporter: Sachin Patel
> Fix For: 1.0
>
> The existing UI plugins for Geronimo eventually need to be migrated to be
> built on top of the EMF.edit framework. By doing so will allow advanced UI
> capability for modifing and displaying the underlying deployment plan models.
> The EMF.edit framework provides:
> 1. Content and label provider classes, property source support, and other
> convenience classes that allow EMF models to be displayed using standard
> desktop (JFace) viewers and property sheets.
> 2. A command framework, including a set of generic command implementation
> classes for building editors that support fully automatic undo and redo.
> Afterwards It will be possible to create item provides to contribute Geronimo
> specific information to the J2EE Common Navigator in WTP. By using EMF for
> both the underlying model framework as well as the UI framework, it will
> allow seamless integration between multiple views in Eclipse as well as
> synchronization between those views and other models such as the J2EE
> deployment descriptor models in WTP.
> Building this UI framework is a first major step in providing an extendable,
> first class tooling support for Geronimo.
