[flux-dev] Headless JDT in Spring application?

[yoann buch <yoann.buch@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

I want to build a cloud service with Spring and connect it to Flux.

I would like to leverage JDT as part of this service (for the incremental compiler, AST, java model, etc.). You already have created a headless version of JDT (or.eclipse.flux.jdt.service) so it seems feasible. However I am not familiar with OSGi and I'm a little bit confused about how I can use JDT in the context of a Spring application. 

Can I simply add JDT jars as dependencies of my Spring app? I don't think so. Am I missing something? What would you recommend?

I think it's fair to say that JDT will be very important to build Java cloud services. It would therefore be nice to make it really easy to reuse.

Thanks,

Yoann

PS: Thanks for working on Flux. I hope it will get the traction it deserves!
