Hi Guys,
while working on the EMF Compare <-> CDO interoperability, I found an
issue on StatisticBasedSimilarityChecker. The method:
private boolean hasSameUri(EObject obj1, EObject obj2)
when calculated over CDOObjects always return false. That's CDOObject
uri fragment is calculated using its unique identifier, the so called
CDOID. So, if you compare 2 equal models imported in a CDO repository,
the hasSameURI will always return false, and some execution flows on
isSimilar() method won't happen.
In general, it looks like this method returning always false increases
the rate of incorrect matches or false positives. I successfully
implemented an emulated alternative for CDO that improves very much the
match rate. StatisticBasedSimilarityChecker seems to work very well once
thats changed.
So the thing is that I'd like to customize this method with some custom
logic. However, I face two problems:
a) hasSameURI() is private
b) package org.eclipse.emf.compare.match.engine.internal is not exported
are there any chances that we:
1) change hasSameURI visibility to protected
and
2) export org.eclipse.emf.compare.match.engine.internal with
x-internal:=true, so that extenders may be able, but warned that is "at
their own risk"? (to be coherent, other internal packages should be
exported with that flag as well)
I know there are many coders that don't like exporting internal
packages, but I see that as a show stopper for framework evolution
toward client needs. Thats of course my opinion ;)
Cheers,
Víctor.
