UI dependencies in egit core [message #503180] Fri, 11 December 2009 05:06 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi,
I find a dependency to org.eclipse.ui from the org.eclipse.egit.core. Looking closer I see that some operations
implement the IRunnableWithProgress interface from jface.

Since this makes it hard to use the egit.core in a headless environment, I would suggest you remove that dependency and
instead wrap the affected code in an IRunnableInProgress when using it in the org.eclipse.egit.ui component. An
alternative might be to use the IWorkspaceRunnable instead and then wrap that in a IRunnableWithProgress in the UI. That
way, you free the headless part from the need of a large number of UI bundles that are never needed.

Regards,
Thomas Hallgren

Hi,

if you intend to run in a headless environment wouldn't it be better to depend on the jgit only? In jgit we surely don't have this dependency.

That would likely mean duplicating a lot of code since I need to find the repositories used in the workspace, check-out
projects and share them, etc.

The next step in this direction should be merging of
org.eclipse.egit.core and org.eclipse.egit.ui into a single uber-bundle
org.eclipse.egit.

But it's the way to nowhere. For a headless environment with no Eclipse
support required at all JGit would be the right choice. When you need a
headless environment with some Eclipse features available (workspace or
commands for instance) (re)use org.eclipse.egit.core. And only if UI is
the must then (re)use org.eclipse.egit.ui.
