Hi everyone,
I recently submitted a
change [Bug 284452] to the JAD editor
pages so that the former pages for OTA Properties and Push Registry
properties
have now been consolidated under the Optional page. Each of the three
now
occupies a section on the Optional page.
The MTJ API allows an SDK
provider to assign JAD descriptor
fields to a page ID but not to a section within a page. All fields are
lumped
together. In order to make the above change, I had to make a few
internal alterations,
but this ability to apply descriptor fields to sections was not
extended to the
public API for SDK providers.
This proposal is that we
enhance the API so that SDK
providers may apply descriptor fields to specific sections on specific
pages.
The Extension Element Details editor on the Extensions tab of the MTJ
plugin.xml editor would include a new “sectionID” field. Entering
data in this field is optional. The field specifies the section ID of
the page
where the descriptors are to be located. The SDK provider’s descriptors
are added to the end of any previous descriptors in that section.
I have opened bug 288530
for this discussion. All comments
are most appreciated.
Regards,
Jon Dearden
