[mdht-dev] CDA Extensions

[Sean Muir <sean.w.muir@xxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings

	As part supporting AU Extensions - we essentially started off by cloning the core four CDA projects
We run into some subtle issues when installing within eclipse so i started off by looking into fragments
In our case, we end up with fragments depending on fragments which is not working 

So a proposed approach - not the greatest so hope there are better options

Step 1- Pull down the generated CDA classes into a cda.runtime plugin - this leaves classes like CDAUtil mostly intact

Step 2 - Create two cda.runtime “stacks" plugins and deploy as needed 

one stack is the current cda
the other stack is the nehta extensions
and for the next extension - create another stack

concerns, questions


side note
here is how i tried the fragments
so i had an au fragment for each plugin (rim,vocab,datatype,and cda)
I was never able to the the au cda to fin the au vocab fragment
It does not appear possible to have a dependency from one fragment to another

We can discuss further on thursday

Thanks

Sean
