[geclipse-dev] Plug-in dependencies

["Stuempert, Mathias IWR" <mathias.stuempert@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi developers,

 

Some time ago I already mentioned that we have bad dependencies between our core and ui plug-ins. Only a few of these dependencies are solved up to now. Nevertheless the fact that we have these dependencies is a show stopper for some external developers that would like to use g-Eclipse as an API for writing their own applications. Therefore I ask you to solve your dependency problems ASAP but latest until our next build.

 

The main problems currently arise from the not-existing separation of UI and core features in the glite and efs plug-ins. So Pawel, Mateusz, what is the status there? Please comment! Please put this on top of your TODO lists and prepare the separation for this month’s build!

 

For all other developers please check again the dependency page of our nightly build system. If you find that your plug-in (or any other) has strange dependencies solve them or open a bug item assigned to the corresponding developer!

 

Cheers, Mathias
