This will happen in the next revision of the 3.1 draft plan. For the
reasons
you have stated, the plan item will be split. The new plan item will
be named "Support mapping between a logical view to physical files on
disk.".

Supporting logical resources is somewhat of a moving target. As I've said
many times,
there is support for logical resources in Eclipse, but not good support
for integrating
logical models. Case in point: there is no way to view all models in the
workbench without
opening all model specific views, there are no way of creating non file
based projects,
and there is no way of adding file based (search, compare, cvs) action
contributions
to logical elements that would process all associated file system
resources.
There are many different requirements for improving logical resource
support, so we have
decided to start by addressing the individual problems one at a time. At
some point
we may have to 'start over' and re-engineer some of the core platform
components
to be less dependent on files. But this won't happen in the 3.1 timeframe.
As you can see from the plan description, we are actually investigating
and working
on several facets of this problem *now*. This work will help us understand
the problem
space better and if or when the time comes to make some major changes in
the platform, we will be ready.
