RE: [modeling-pmc] Re: [emft-dev] Proposal for Texo Component
|
I get confused. If Texo can work without PMF, Texo has to implement most of
the concepts proposed and realized in PMF. As I said PMF is abstract and
high level infrastructure, it seems to me Texo as a specific implementation
for JSF. Some other projects can use PMF as well to provide other solutions
such as RCP on SWT. And furthermore, PMF, without a specific generator,
cannot be used directly by users. So PMF+Texo should be a complete solution
for JSF for Web application. I cannot understand why you need force Texo's
users to use PMF.
>So for now I would say that the two projects start separately and work
together when some results have been achieved.
So we probably waste our energy on both sides to implement the same
concepts.

Hi Yves,
I think Texo can integrate with pmf but it should also work without pmf.
As I don't want to force users of Texo to also use pmf. So for me pmf is
an additional component. As you say, the same applies the other way
around pmf can be used as the basis for generators for other target
platforms as well.
So for now I would say that the two projects start separately and work
together when some results have been achieved.
