All, My first day of retirement starts tomorrow! At this time it’s unclear what my level of participation in Edgent and PLC4X will become. We’ll just have to see how it goes. I’m encouraged by the synergy between Edgent and PLC4X. Chris is a great promoter and contributor so I’m optimistic

There were many in test code but lots in non-test code too. I don’t think there are serious problems. But with all of the warnings it’s too easy to miss significant ones or add more. Changing “Use of a raw type” from warning to info drops the warnings from 235 to 85. Then changing “Unchecked

On the current “master” branch, Eclipse 4.6.3 (with std Error/Warning preference config) and java 1.8.0_161, Eclipse reports 235 warnings. The bulk of these seem to be Raw type and Type safety warnings. Are there plans for dealing with these? (Warning: don’t try this with Eclipse 4.7.2 and jav

Re: Batch reads with JPA like annotation magic?

2018-02-19 Thread Dale LaBossiere
Doesn’t the user need access to the response code for each annotated item? I’m unclear on why a Direction is needed/desired. Is it just for “documentation" of what is possible for an item at that address? Maybe it would be checked when the annotated class is used in a Read vs Write request to

Re: Give readRequestItems a "name" property?

2018-02-19 Thread Dale LaBossiere
I think I’m generally +1 on this, though I think *optional* names may just make it harder / less predictable to use these objects. Why not just require names? This also relates to the usability of a batch request/response object, and the ability to offer a get-item-by-name accessor, instead of

My introduction to git was really from a pre-ASF GitHub usage context so that very common fork/PR workflow is more familiar to me :-) It’s a nice environment for collaboration. Note if PLC4X were setup to have its GitHub repo as its main repo, not this non-writeable mirror thing, merging a PR

On the topic of coverage… The way the “integrations” are setup, they aren’t inheriting the “Fail the build” config setup in plc4j/pom.xml. Is that intentional? Should that config be pushed up into the top level pom, or duplicated in integrations/pom.xml (or individual integrations)? Also it wo

Hi all, I know that IntelliJ is “the only” IDE :-) That said, the current state of “master” in an Eclipse dev environment yields ~100 warnings - with typical config for Java 1.8 and Errors/Warnings and it would be best to clean these up as soon as we can / is reasonable. I’ve seen mention of
