I am starting an Open Source JDO project and have been thinking heavily
about how to integrate this with Eclipse (My favourite J2EE editor).
There seems to be two ways to do JDO. Either Byte Code editing or source
code editing. I am thinking Source Code editing is simpler for both the
JDO code and the person using it. With Open Source there are no issues
with proprietary code. So here are my thoughts of how to integrate JDO
with Eclipse.
1) Make all JDO files source .jdo. Set up something that compiles .jdo
into .java. I think both can be made visible from Eclipse. Thus allowing
you to edit the .jdo file and view the .java file to see what hooks JDO
put in.
2) Parse the .java file and add the hooks automatically. Thus somehow
you define this class as JDO and every time you save it checks the JDO
hooks and moves them into the right position or adds them if they are
missing. This may be the best interface to JDO from a programmer
perspective.
3) Use 1 but with file names .jdo.java and .java.
I am very interested into input about which one of these ideas is the
best and which would be the easiest to integrate into Eclipse. If you
have a better idea I would love to hear it.
If you care my current thoughts of a design/development path are:
1) Write a compliant interface with JDO integrated with Eclipse.
2) Work on as many programmer features as possible. Things to make
developing in JDO faster and easier.
3) Once all of the standard JDO features are implemented write a
production library that concentrates on speed. (Caching assumes VM
specific caching, possibly support for 30 second caching)
4) Write a second production clustered library that is dependent on JMS.
