Running EMFT Transaction Standalone [message #55969]

Hi,

I have trouble with getting EMFT Transaction running outside Eclipse.

The class initialization of the org.eclipse.emf.transaction.util.Lock
throws an exception of null access (I am running it on .NET and the
exception text does not say much more than this).

It seems that the problem is with the code
EMFTransactionPlugin.getPluginId().

Two questions:

(1) Should I expect that running Transaction outside Eclipse is
possible?

(2) Would it make sense to eliminate the dependencies on
EMFTransactionPlugin for the Lock class?

Thanks,

\Mario
================
More Info:
- Running on .NET using IKVM and GNU.Classpath
- EMF and EMF.Edit are running stand-alone on my setup with no
problems.
- Using Transaction 1.0.0.v200606261303
- Using emf 2.2.1.v200609210005
- I can get valid EditingDomain, CommandStack and Runnable
instantiated. The exception occurs as soon as I try to runExclusive()
a command.

Hi, Mario,

The EMFT Transaction API currently is heavily dependent on Eclipse, as is
the EMFT Validation component that it depends on for transaction validation
(commit). These components both use Eclipse capabilities such as extension
points and plug-ins, as well as numerous APIs such as IStatus that are
defined by the Eclipse platform.

There is currently no plan to provide an Eclipse-free transaction or
validation API.

Cheers,

Christian
