Re: [p2-dev] Interfaces for metadata classes

[Pascal Rapicault <Pascal_Rapicault@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Friday sounds fine if the version changes have happened.
We also want to see what is going to happen on the resolver front.
After all this sounds relatively secondary and trivial to do that I don't see the need to rush it

I have opened https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=260913 to track this issue.

Does anybody have a preference for when we should do this (i.e. Friday at 4:30 PST) or something?

Cheers,
Ian

as I recall, we made it a separate issue since we had several large patches awaiting integration (interfaces, versions, etc.) and wanted to get everything merged before moving the classes.

We decided to make this a separate issue, (so option number 2 in your list :) ). I will file a bug for this, and put a patch together.

Thanks John

I noticed that the concrete metadata classes that we created interfaces for are still in the provisional API package. Since we have interfaces to form the API spec, and a factory method for creating instances, the concrete classes can now be moved into internal packages. In fact if we don't, a client could reasonably downcast to the concrete API class, which would break with a different implementation. Was this an oversight, or just staging the changes to make sure we fixed up all references before moving the classes? I vaguely remember a dicussion about this but couldn't see anything in the bug report about it.
