Is it possible to package the Eclipse components (Views/Editors/etc.) such that the RCP compatible ones (i.e. those that don't rely on JDT extensions/API/etc.) are separated out from those that depend upon the JDT (i.e. the debugger)?
This would allow me to install things like the rule editor and rule navigator (browser/database/cross-referencer) as plugins in my RCP application. This would allow field modification of the rule base directly within our application (similar to what JRules provides). -Mitch FWIW, it would be really cool if the debugger were also split such that if the JDT is not present, you can still debug/introspect rules, facts, etc. The debugger could conceivably 'step-over' calls out to the JVM. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 04, 2003 8:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: JESS: Jess and Eclipse RCP I think Mitch Christensen wrote: > I understand that Jess will be providing Eclipse IDE plugins with the > charlemaigne (sp?) release. > > Is there some place I can go to read up on the proposed Eclipse plugins? It's probably time I put together a web page with a summary of features for Charlemagne. I want to put up an issue tracking system too. Anyway, right now there isn't anyplace to get a lot of information all together about what will be in the Jess IDE. Basiclly, there will be a typical Eclipse editor, with smart completion, intention actions, refactoring, syntax coloring, wiggly-line error markers, etc. There will be a debugger that's integrated with the Java debugger, so you can do cross-language debugging. There will be a browser/rule database/cross-referencer, for exploring rulebases. There will also be integrations of various Jess built-ins: a new "view" command, for example, a pretty-printer, a logging interface for the watch commands, etc. --------------------------------------------------------- Ernest Friedman-Hill Science and Engineering PSEs Phone: (925) 294-2154 Sandia National Labs FAX: (925) 294-2234 PO Box 969, MS 9012 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Livermore, CA 94550 http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov -------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send the words 'unsubscribe jess-users [EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the BODY of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], NOT to the list (use your own address!)
