Hello!
We are quite excited about the EMC JDT driver and would like to know if it is possible to use it:

  1. within the Epsilon workflow component in a headless system. This would allow us to perform all sorts of interesting metrics and customer-specific analysis, including enforcing customers design rules.
  2. to write Java information to the API. This would allow us to perform automated aggressive refactoring on customer code.

In case the workflow use is possible, we would also like to know how we would need to activate the JDT model in the headless environment. It would seem that we would need to

  1. start a headless workspace
  2. trigger its Eclipse builders
  3. perform the queries or manipulations
  4. commit the results
  5. release (unwind) any resources: workflow, project, workspace

Is that correct?

Hi Jörn,

In principle #1 should be feasible as the driver doesn't have any UI dependencies and JDT can be run in headless mode [1, 2]. #2 is not possible as the driver doesn't provide any writing capabilities I'm afraid.

Best,
Dimitris
