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

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes Vijay ... my thoughts are that's
its a good idea ... and as you do that, keep our other discussions in mind.
 

We discussed what could be enhanced
in base builders so they could accommodate validation directly and I recall
you agreed to "sum up" and document what's really "new"
in validators that isn't in builders (such as, can be called individually,
programatically), called with "documents" in memory (not just
resources), reused to allow source page validation as well as batch validation,
various limits and preferences imposed, etc. I'd assume that would be the
WST portion of the division and could, in theory, be provided by Eclipse
base platform. Then, the next step is to ask the question of what would
be "new" in that part of validators that pre-req JDT (which you're
rightly proposing be in JST). It will be important to understand and document
that design and api as well. 

And ... I also want to say thanks to
everyone contributing to this level of discussion. I hope it continues
for all aspects and levels of WTP.

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

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?
