[Search] Development Plan [message #96783]

support for scopes outside the Eclipse workspace? How do you see the
component relating to the OpenSearch (http://www.opensearch.org/Home), if at
all?

Kenn,

It is true that model queries applying on workspace are the only
supported ones for the moment.

I mentioned a "RCP mode" in the dev plan, that is likely supporting
queries launching on *any* File System. (RCP ready for [M6 + 2w]
(Tentative) ...)

Unfortunately I didn't put effort yet neither on research or dev on that
particular topic. However, I tried to take advantage of generics as much
as possible to facilitate such integration in future milestones.

I'll take some time to analyze opensearch.org information and find out
what's can be usefull getting non-workskpace EMFT Search queries mode
working ASAP.

Thanks for the reply. I was also wondering whether you've given any thought
to the potential of integrating in some way with the JCR management
component (http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emft/?project=jcrm#jcrm). Given
that JCR supports search "out of the box", it would seem natural (at a
glance) to provide a repository search scope that could execute searches via
the JCR (management) APIs...

I have no idea about that particular point. Maybe, we could work
together on Use Cases and see if it can fit into the current dev plan or
to postpone it after ganymede.

The main pb I would see concerning adding new *non workspace related*
model search scopes would be that it will certainly imply opening RFEs
against [Plaform UI Search] component to add scope extensibility mechanism.

After that I just would like you to give me some clarifications on
what's your vision concerning booth OpenSearch && EMFT JCR uses.

I do understand it would introduce a kind of general WWW or J2EE
repository based model querying, but I don't really see what could be
the best in terms of User Experience on that purposes.

I would be more than happy to welcome you on board to imagine together
such new query scopes & modes.

Thanks for the response. My vision was that, once it's possible to store an
EMF-based model in a JCR repository using the JCRM component, it would seem
logical to expose the JCR query API somehow within EMF search... maybe
Sandro has some insight here...

Generally speaking, the scope of a search shouldn't need to be restricted to
the workspace (at least it isn't in enterprise applications). If changes in
the platform UI are required to support this, now would be a good time to
request them, I suppose.

Related to Kenn's request, but separate from JCR (which I need to look at!),
I would like the search scope to allow library models that are available via
GMF pathmap variables. These are outside of the workspace, but available
via platform URIs. In addition to the UML basic datatype libraries, I also
deploy libraries for HL7 datatypes, ISO datatypes, CCTS datatypes, and
possibly other UML reusable components used in message design. Maybe they
are or should be included when a model being searched has a PackageImport
referencing one or more library models?

Ok, I suppose a first step would be to post some questions to Sandro ^^

For search scope extensibility, the second step, we would certainly need
to post an RFE against the platform [Search] component but a serious
preliminary work is needed (analysis + patch ?).

I'm pretty busy on other topics at the moment (OCL, Class Diagram, ...)
and have to organize tasks depending on priorities.
