Hello,
I have project specific data which various views and actions need to
access. I _believe_ I want it in the Project object (or similar) rather
than in a separate view/editor. Is there a best-practice or
tutorial/howto for this?
For example, I want to convert Word documents to text format for Lucene
indexing. I would like save the connection between the two documents, as
well as some meta data: author, title, date,... (Assume there is a valid
reason I want this info stored in the project, not in some Lucene
field). I am currently saving that information in a dom4j xml document
in the project directory.
I believe I am heading down the 'wrong' path at the moment for loading
and holding that data:
- I am trying to read it in the builder's fullBuild process.
- I am also trying to hold the model of the data in either a builder or
nature for the project.
What is the 'right' way for me to approach project specific data which
is not bound?
1) Use a project.open type hook to load the data?
2) Does it make sense to try to save the model in a nature/builder (or
extend Project...)?
3) Use full and incremental builders to sync changes
(I'm somewhat confident this is the 'right' approach,
but 1 & 2 above...)
Thanks,
Sean
