Re: [dsdp-mtj-dev] Current MTJ code 
Gustavo,
I'm assuming you are just trying to get your head around the current MTJ codebase? Since we are "rebooting" the MTJ project, I would like to ask that we reconsider the underlying extension point and plugin architecture. I would like to see the group work together to define the set of common "services" that should be supported, their interfaces and their associated extension points. In addition, I believe that we should be able to collapse the number of plugins to a more manageable number.
For example, we know (for CLDC) we will need a preverification service. This should be defined by an interface. It should be possible to register a new implementation of that service via a standard Eclipse extension point. There are many services in the MTJ code that can be extracted and made much simpler. I can try to take a stab at a more comprehensive list as time permits. 

Thanks,
Craig

hi arto,
thanks for your response... the spreadsheet that you sent looks really nice and helped me understand better plugins model. i just downloaded the documentation from the cvs and i'm going to also look at it. i looked at it and also the plugins in the 0.7 and N20071104 versions. it seems that there are 12 new plugins in the N20071104 version. the plugins are listed below 
org.eclipse.mtj.extension.dds.j2mepolish
org.eclipse.mtj.extension.om
org.eclipse.mtj.extension.om.op
org.eclipse.mtj.extension.om.ui
org.eclipse.mtj.extension.sep
org.eclipse.mtj.extension.sep.eswt
org.eclipse.mtj.extension.sep.eswt.win32
org.eclipse.mtj.ve.guidesigner
org.eclipse.mtj.extension.dds
org.eclipse.mtj.core.localization.en
org.eclipse.mtj.extension.dpp.usersupplied
org.eclipse.mtj.extension.wizard
the wizard plugin implements the "import MIDlet from X" functionality. there are other 3 group of plugins that i looked at the source code to understand the functionality 
- om: obfuscator with proguard
- dds: device fragmentation
- sep / guidesigner: gui designer
i'm not sure if you are the right person to answer that, but since you were the first to answer the email here it goes :) do you know the status of those plugin? are they already working? which parts of those functionalities are actually implemented? if it is not you that know that, does anyone in the list knows? thanks in advanced, 
:)

Hey Paula,
Below are some of the major changes done to the 0.7 codebase. 

   *
      support for multiple SDK
      (adding Device Platform, removing Device Platform and its
      consequences with regards to Runtime Platform, duplicate Runtime
      Platform, etc.)
   *
      implementation of import of a MIDlet project from Netbeans,
      EclipseME, CarbideJ
( new project creation from import and import into existing MTJ application) 
   *
      MIDP2.1 support (though not well tested)

Addition to above, there was a lot of small bug fixes done.
The things that we have not taken any further, relates to the Device fragmentation area. Yes, there are several plugins, which are rather small. About the MTJ plugin model, I did attach (a bit outdated, but quite relevant) Excel sheet about the plugin structure. I have used Lattix dependency tool to analyze the plugin structure and overall situation is nice (thus there are few cases that would be needed to fix). To gain overall to the plugin structure, please look at the few documents at the cvs (mtj-home/docs/*) The current project resourcing is problematic, cause there are not so many active committers in this project. -Arto

    Hi,

    I started to study the current MTJ code. One initial aspect that i
    note is that there is big different between the 0.7 release code
    and what it currently in the cvs. In the cvs there almost 50 plugins.

    Is there any list of the differences between what is on 0.7
    release and what is on the cvs?

    Is there any email or document that describe all of those plugins?

    I'm trying to setup everything in my desktop and see if i can use
    it. Once i have some news i will send back to the list

    thanks,
    :)
