Please review: Alternate flexible workbench proposal [message #137364]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to elicit some feedback on a few proposals from the platform and
WTP in regards to our flexible project support. I know this has been a hot
topic, and cause for some frustration. Our goal is to work closely with
the platform for a common solution that satisfies our requirements.

Here is the first section:

Recently we have had two very productive meetings with the eclipse platform
team, in understanding some of the proposals for V3.2 that give WTP more
options in regards to flexible workspaces/projects. During these
meetings 4 proposals were discussed that tackle different aspects of
"flexible workspaces" Much of the existing flexible project internal api
is an implementation that satisfies many of the requirements declared last
year. Many of these scenarios should be solved at the platform level, and
our current WTP api has a few serious restrictions that forces us to re-
evaluate our direction....

ojectProposals.html

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks - Chuck

Hi Chuck --

Just to be clear, "flexible project" includes the ability to layout my
web application in a directory structure different than WTP's default,
right? Where can I get a basic intro to the right way to do this in WTP
0.7?

P. S.
The page,

has multiple character-encodings declared. I think UTF-8 is the correct
one here.

Hi Chuck,

Many thanks for sharing these plans with the community.

I only had a quick read, so I haven't had time to form an opinion yet about
which scenario(s) would be the most beneficial.

However, what really matters in my personal case is that these plans should
take into account backwards compatibility with the current workspace/project
structure in Eclipse/WTP.

I still remember the drastic change that occured between M3 and M4 with
flexible projects, and how it wreaked havoc for me since it resulted in
incompatible project layouts. I was really relieved when M5 came out and
fixed it all back, so I would urge you to please avoid reiterating such
radical and incompatible changes in the future as much as possible...

Having said that, any improvement and added flexibility is always welcome
:-)

Regards,

Laurent
