Since everyone else is checking in code, I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon :-)
http://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/Commands A Locator prototype is now included in the ui-e4Set.psf ... org.eclipse.e4.locator. It's a plugin, although right now it is not integrated with any of the other demos but does have running tests. The Command+Handler framework in Eclipse 3.x has a lot of good patterns and abstractions, but falls short in wiring local UI elements (like a view tool item or context menu item) with a matching local handler (that is informed about the local model like the view current selection). In E4 it would be nice to simplify the command+handler execution path as much as possible, but it look like it must support at least these 2 usecases: executing the global application context, and executing within some local context. It would be nice if they didn't interfere with each other. The prototype builds on the IServiceLocator notion introduced in 3.4 and generalizes it ... the local ILocator should be able to look up information appropriate to the local context while providing a global context to the application that makes sense. Sorry the page is such a jumble :-) but it's getting late for me. -- Paul Webster Hi floor.
