[orion-dev] Using individual Orion components

[Dale Lane <Dale.Lane@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all

We're building an OSGi-based web application.
We need to add support for preferences to it. 

We need to support both global and user-specific
preferences
We also need to allow our optional OSGi
bundles to be able to contribute preferences specific to those plugins.


It was suggested to me that we could
reuse components from Orion to do this - that Orion could implement both
the back-end support for preferences management, and give us a starting-point
for a frontend UI for the user to view and edit preferences. 

Is this a good idea? Can individual
capabilities from Orion be used like this in non-IDE apps? 

If so, are there any starting points
for how to go about this?

Thanks in advance for any advice people
can offer!

Kind regards

Dale
