But how often do your users add / remove modules (or enable/disable)? And how important is the dynamic aspect -- would an IDE restart break the workflow so much? I agree that automatic dependency download is handy but that's what any 'package manager' should do. I really am wondering, as an user, if I need the dynamic nature of a module system. > @Neil C Smith : > How does all this relate to things like this, and the comments about > using third-party libraries as OSGi bundles directly? Just thinking out loud tangentially I guess? > Are we sure this isn't impacting any IDE functionality? No, we aren't. I'm not even sure if we have actual OSGi modules running. I remember Mylyn was supposed to be the 1st case of direct use of OSGi bundles. So I guess this could be tested. 'Team | Find Tasks...' seems to start but I can't use any connector as I don't have anything to test it with. I'm also surprised the JIRA connector is not included but we get a 'Download JIRA plugin' button. (This is probably taken from the Plugin Portal? It also has a whole bunch of dependencies...) --emi On Sat, Nov 10, 2018 at 2:29 PM Neil C Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Sat, 10 Nov 2018 at 09:35, Emilian Bold <[email protected]> wrote: > > Having a hybrid module system is a neat trick yet I don't see people > > raving about it.
