RE: [wtp-dev] should WST have references to JDT?

[Craig Salter <csalter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Vijay,

I think there are many cases where it
make sense to have generic 'non JDT specific' function (that would live
in WST) that can be supplimented with JDT specific extensions (that would
live in JST).   I think the validation framework a good example.  

thanks

Craig

After looking at the responses on this subject, from the validation component
side I suggest a splitting of plugins here as needed rather than moving
the validation plugins with JDT dependency from WST to JST. We can have
2 flavor's where one flavor of the plugin is with JDT dependency and one
without. The one with JDT dependency lives in JST    and the
one without lives in WST. 

Any thoughts about this idea?

We need to be more specific than "no JDT requred by WST".  I
am very interested in mapping XML/XSD/WSDL to/from Java and expect that
JDT will be very useful here.  But it's important (to my use cases)
that these features be available in an optional feature.  It should
be possible to package up a set of features/plugins that provide XML/XSD
editing and validation that runs on the core Eclipse platform, without
JDT.

Craig, 

I agree in principal. Any generic function should be moved into the platform.
However, some tools may be generating Java, even in WST. Not all Java related
function is in J2EE. For example, what about XSD to Java generators? They
are not necessarliy in J2EE so they should be in WST. Or the reverse, generation
of XML from Java. You might want to access a Java model or some function
that is in JDT.
