| RE: [equinox-dev] Support for the console in Equinox |
As stated before, we have no plans to implement RFC 147 in the framework.
Instead we would really like the implementation to be provided from a bundle
installed on top of the framework. At this time we have not made any definitive
plans to implement RFC 147 in Equinox. But if you are willing to commit
resources to such an effort I would support starting an incubator project in
equinox to develop this.
If you have incremental improvements to the
existing Equinox console then please open bugs and provide patches. Then we can
assess the code and decide if they are appropriate to put into the core
framework (but as I stated before, the console already is bloating the framework
considerably and I don't really want to add any more to that
bloat).

which release of the framework the implementation of RFC 147 is planned to be
included?

RE: [equinox-dev] Support for the console in Equinox |

We are interested in this being improved, because our support would immediately benefit from those enhancements, until the new implementation is available. Provided that RFC-147 will be shipped next year at earliest, we would have to handle this issue for at least 2 years, before we and our customers get it.
Since we use the telnet access to the console, some small improvements in its usability, as the ones mentioned in the original mail, will be of much help to us. This is certainly only for the period before the new, improved command line interface, defined in RFC 147, is delivered.
We may provide a small patch with some improvements for the telnet to make it more user-friendly in the current and probably the next release, before it is finally substituted by the new implementation.

Lazar Kirchev
We have had a long time desire to remove the console from the
framework. It adds a bit of bulk and is not needed in many scenarios. As such we
are not doing much to enhance the console at this time. When an implementation
becomes available for RFC 147 we would prefer this to be a separate bundle. Once
that is done the trick is to figure out how to support the old -console option
in Equinox ;-)
If you are interested in implementing RFC 147 in Equinox
perhaps we should start an incubator project to get
started?
