Hi Rob,
Thanks for considering this
contribution...
It looks promising with very interesting applications for WTP
as
you mentioned. I agree with Doug its way too late for Mars at
this
point, but we should keep up the discussion for the next release
perhaps
Mars SR1.
Can you open an enhancement
bugzilla
to track your work, and we can discuss the contribution, the
benefits over
the current lanuch UI etc....

Question on new contribution

Hi Rob,
Actually, the dependencies from
remote
and launch bar aren’t any different than RSE and Terminal today.
It uses
the CDT native services for terminal type things and that’s
about it unless
I’m missing something.
But it’s really late in Mars to be
doing
much more. When is WTP’s next release? The next minor release
for remote
and launch bar should be in Sept with Mars SR-1. We should be
able to add
API and features to support WTP and other new users of these
frameworks.
We can do any required API clean up with a major release at
Neon.

Hi All:
So, there's a new feature currently being developed in a CDT
repo, but
with ambitions to be used throughout eclipse, and moved to
somewhere more
conveinent. The feature is named "launchbar", and you can read
about it here: https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/LaunchBar
As you can see from the UI, it's intention is to streamline
launching things.
Looking at it, it *does* seem like it'd be quite a nice
fit
for webtools.servertools, to "debug" "MyServlet" on
"Some Tomcat Server".
I've developed a proof-of-concept which seems to work quite
nicely so far,
but to see it in action you'd need to have org.eclipse.remote
(which is
in the ptp repo for now) and a few low-level CDT plugins that it
depends
on.
I currently have my PoC over at: https://github.com/robstryker/jbt-experimental
Is there a place in webtools for such a contribution? I'd be
willing to
work with org.eclipse.remote (in the ptp repo) and
org.eclipse.launchbar
(in the cdt repo) to clean up their dependencies and make this
easier to
consume, but obviously only if webtools had an interest in such
a contribution.
In its shortest form, it's basically a faster and more prominent
way to
execute the Run On Server action. Many users in the past have
complained
it was a bit hard to find that action, and launchbar is a very
obvious
way to make it more likely to grab their attention.
Unfortunately upstream APIs aren't quite what we'd consider
"stable",
and are still undergoing frequent changes. The o.e.remote
addition is expected
to be the next generation of RSE, and both that and launchbar
are expecting
Mars to be their 1.0 release.
I'd love to hear if there's interest in such a thing, and what
requirements
you'd all have as conditions (ie dep tree, etc).
