Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Information about the "Generifing JFace viewers" project

Thanks Markus, great suggestion, I will follow it. Clients could be any Eclipse project hence I plan to use this list for the announcement once it is ready for testing.
Best regards, Lars

Once you're confident that the work is
complete, please put it into a branch on git.eclipse.org. Then inform clients
and ask for final validation (open a bug for clients to give their "go").
Clients need at least 3 weeks of time to do their integration testing.
Only put it into master after you got a good coverage of "go"s.
Thanks,
Markus

Just for the records, here are some
constraints that I required in order to agree to continue that work:
- Some stuff just doesn't make sense to be generified because it often
contains various kinds of objects, e.g. (tree) viewers. See also
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/platform-ui-dev/msg05459.html.
- If generified types cannot be plugged together unless everything is again
just Object or Class, it's not worth to generify those types.
- The generified code must be in a shape so that clients can start to fix
their code by invoking Refactor > Infer Generic Type Arguments... This
needs to be validate on existing Platform UI code.

Hi,
as some of you probably remember, the platform.ui team started a GSoC project
last year to generify the JFace viewer framework. We (platform.ui team
together with John Arthone and Dani Megert) decided that it is worth to
finish this project and started a new GSoC project.
Jeanderson Barros Candido (cc) is working on this project with Hendrik
Still (cc) (GSoC student from last year) and me as mentor.
I personally think the work looks already very good and plan to integrated
it soon into the master. We are trying to learn from the experience from
last year, therefore:
- We plan to integrate it as a whole, not piece wise so people can
fix warning messages created by this change
- We reworking the JFace snippets and tests at the same time to have a
first proof-point
- We plan to use it for platform views to validate that it works
Of course generifying an existing API, will result in certain limitations
and some suggested a complete rewrite of the JFace viewer framework but
this is currently not the scope of this project.
The implementation is currently done at Github: https://github.com/jeandersonbc/eclipse.platform.ui
and we do our planning in https://github.com/jeandersonbc/gsoc14-eclipse-planning.
If someone wants to test the new implementation and provide feedback, please
let us know.
