[ecf-dev] Re: [mylyn-dev] RE: screen capture and exchange


Bug created:  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=214379

Hopefully some from the Platform UI team will respond to other questions about ultimate home, maintenance, etc.

RE: Mik's note...filing bug against Mylyn is an option, but IMHO not
desirable relative to Platform UI ownership.  Is this impossible?
    
Someone from Platform/UI will have to comment on whether they want to put
resources to maintaining such a component.  Mylyn can put some effort to
generalizing its screen capture facility because I agree that it would be
good to have a unified UI for it.  So what I was offering is that this can
start out in Mylyn and then move to Platform UI if there is sufficient
interest and resources to evolve I there.  But if others have interest in
doing the API and UI in Platform that sounds great (i.e. less work for us),
and once that implementation has matured Mylyn could try to move to it and
contribute improvements as we do so.  

Cheers,

Mik

Either way, I'm happy exploring how to generalize what
we have. In terms of next steps, the following could work well:

1) Someone files a bug against Mylyn on generalizing our screen
capture facilities

2) Mylyn takes the first step in generalizing it, then the reporter
attempts to build on the provisional API and we iterate

3) Once there are two working clients to the API (Mylyn and the
reporter's) we figure the best home(s) for the API (e.g. very
        
generic
    
stuff in SWT or Platform/UI and UI specific to tasks/bugs in Mylyn).
