Finally ! With 4.2SR2 on its way out the door I /finally/ get to turn
my focus back to 4.3 and the future.
First off is a big thank you to everybody involved for either helping
out or at least being patient about not being as free to change e4 as
I know you'd like.
This will be a discussion topic for this week's e4 meeting and
everybody is welcome.
*Where are we ?*
I ask the question because most of the last year and a half is just a
blur to me. I know we've talked about many things but I've certainly
lost track of most of them. Please speak up if there are things that
we've been holding off on in order to have a stable foundation for the
service release(s).
My highest priority concern is to nail down the API (since I have to
present it at EclipseCon...;-). We can still make changes in the API
and model while getting the information together but only if we start
pretty soon. This will allow us to make some of the changes we've
already discussed like Parts within Parts...I'd like to get a working
group together to hammer out the details (maybe we could schedule some
meetings at least at the beginning ?).
I'm in the process of gathering up what we have so the first question
is how would we like to do that, In a bugzilla (with related ones for
each area CSS, Model, DI, services) ? In a GoogleDoc ? Some other way ?
*Where do we want to go ?*
As the effort on the compatibility layer starts to subside (we're not
finished but we are down to true corner cases now IMO) we should be
examining how we move the whole platform forwards over time. The two
main themes I'm aware of are:
- Moving the platform towards a platform agnostic approach (i.e. not
so closely tied to SWT) by examining where we can add new agnostic
superclasses into our current code...
- Blurring the current separation of e4 and the IDE by
- allowing current IDE features to be used in e4 without having to
bring in the whole IDE
- allowing the IDE to host e4 implementations by loosening up some
of the constraints in our current extension points / API
Are there others ?
Ah, time to have some fun :-) I really want to have some 'real' New &
Noteworthy entries for M6 forwards, I'm sick of having to answer the
question "What can Eclipse 4 do that 3.x couldn't?" with the word
"Nothing"...split editors anyone ?
Thanks again,
Eric
