Replace Corpus Explorer with the Project Explorer
-------------------------------------------------
Key: UIMA-1947
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-1947
Project: UIMA
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: CasEditor
Affects Versions: 2.3.1SDK
Reporter: Jörn Kottmann
Assignee: Jörn Kottmann
The Cas Editor has its own navigator view called the Corpus Explorer, this view
should be replaced with the Project Explorer from the
Common Navigator Framework (CNF). The reason it was not built on CNF in the
first place is that CNF was not available when then Corpus Explorer
was written.
There are a few good reasons to switch to CNF:
- Many things will just be replaced by CNF functionality. These are for example
basic functionality like, copy, paste, move,
delete, rename a file. The missing (UIMA-556) drag and drop support will be
available trough CNF.
- The structure of a CAS (important for multi-view support, UIMA-572) will be
available to other projects which do not use the Cas Editor project nature.
- And Cas Editor projects could be viewed with all its content along with other
projects also exposing a deeper structure like java projects.
- The dependency on the org.eclipse.ui.ide plugin will be obsolete, making the
Cas Editor easier to integrate into RCP applications.
