Re: [imp-dev] double click strategy as a service

[Jurgen Vinju <Jurgen.Vinju@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

I think that for consistency in the design we should provide all IMP's
extension points as services. That way a user can, without reading any
documentation, simply see what she can do with IMP from listing the
extension points, or from listing the type hierarchy from
ILanguageService.

We should also allow each service to be bound programmatically, (do
we?), as opposed to editing plugin.xml, via the ServiceFactory.

Having said that, I think we should also remove all deprecated old
historic legacy out-of-date extension points ;-)

Cheers,

Jurgen
