RE: [ve-dev] VE 1.5 themes
|
We
have built ULC VE on top of Eclipse VE. Earlier our VE
was built on top of VE of WSAD 5.0.1. Later we ported it to VE 0.5.0.
During the port we encountered problems because the override specs and
BeanDecoderAdapter had changed a lot. Now we are
porting it to VE 1.0 and again find that there are major changes hwich are
difficult to find.
From our point of view the major goal of VE
1.5 should be to make it an extendible framework such
that the project will not remain in the status where only insiders can use it.
Keeping the above in mind we request that:
1.
Documentation of override (dtd, semantics), palette
specs, APIs and hooks.
2.
APIs and Hooks are opened up.
3.
Support for direct relationship between Container/Containee without an
intermediate object and uniform treatment of cardinality of containment
(upperbound=1 v/s upperbound=-1).
4.
Support for Structural Features that exist in model but not in
source.
After
we complete the port to VE 1.0 we plan to document our experience and give
details about the APIs used by us and which should be opened
up.
Thanks.

Another thing that we need to start push
on is API documentation. We should pick (from now on each release) as
set of development use cases (e.g., extending a palette, adding a layout mgr.
etc.) document, clean and open the VE API to drive these.
