[stellation-res] Transitional Eclipse GUI Client

Mark,

Per my earlier post on Oct 1,  I'm working on a 'transitional' Eclipse client.
(See Wiki discussions for details).  This involves from-scratch Stellation
workspace code.

I've just smoke-tested the basic code for accessing the remote Stellation repository, and it works (at least w.r.t. retrieving the list of current projects from the repository).

Now, I need to expand my JUnit suite to create and modify projects, but there
isn't (yet) a way to programmatically delete projects from the repository.
This is by design, for safety reasons, but it makes testing difficult
(previously, I tested with a local repository and simply deleted the test db
between runs - not good here!).

Mark -- how should I handle this?  Some possibilties include:
* Create a new project with a different name for each test run.  This will
create a slew of garbage projects (test1,test2, test3 .... testN), which should
be cleaned up reasonably often, but may be the least-effort solution...

* Give me admin privileges on the 'stellhost' so I can delete my
test projects as needed.

* Create a separate repository ('client_test'), and give me admin privileges for that
(to avoid accidental damage to stellhost contents).

* Provide a programmatic way to delete individual projects within a repository.

What do you think?

- Jim
