AW: AW: [geclipse-dev] Replicable File Systems-proposal tothe corechanges

Of course you are right. What I meant is that I am fearing the situation
to also add other functionalities because they would be nice2have. When
we are now starting to add this specific functionality it would also be
nice to have this and that other extension which may end up in a messed
up abstraction. So all I wanted to say is that we should be veeery
careful here and that we should stay as close as possible to the
original EFS!
Furthermore I would love to see a communication with the EFS guys on the
appropriate dev-list concerning this. Maybe our extensions concerning
replica file systems could go into their code at the end, but for sure
not for ganymede.

I propose that first you implement everything for gLite at the moment.
As soon as this proved to be ok we may move the abstraction to
eu.geclipse.core.filesystem afterwards.

So keep us up to date there please.

Great :)

It's all about policies here. The ProblemException is our way of
handling problems and I think we all agree that it is the better way to
handle problems. So make use of it, even force others to make use of it.
If there is a chance to make the world a bit better we should do it ;-)
