Hi Tom,
thanks, but that's not what I am after, if I understand your approach
correctly. I'd like to continue using extensions and extension points
on the Eclipse 4.x runtime and still get some benefits of the
application model underneath, instead of staying on 3.x with backported
features of 4.x. Also I am trying to find out if such an approach could
be officially supported by the platform and doesn't have to be added on
top using extra utility plug-ins.
I think both e4-style classes (without base class and @Inject-support)
and old-style ViewPart classes could be supported by the extension
points in the compatibility layer without much effort. In the latter
case, the compatibility view class that's in between right now could be
dropped and the extension class could go into the application model
directly. As demonstrated via hack in the bug report. Any opinions on
that?
Greetings,
Ralf
