Vision
The CDO Explorer is a client-side RCP application that demonstrates all the core functionality of CDO. It is expected to provide re-usable user interface components as well as a default distribution in form of an RCP application. CDO users shall be enabled to download a single setup.exe file and install a complete technology stack, including repository server, database, the CDO Explorer client, possibly a CDO Admin client to (re-) configure the repository server.
We'd like to demonstrate the following:
- strict use of data binding
- together with asynchronous node expansion
- drag and drop of objects to create references
- extensible repository browser view
- extensible form editors for single objects
- neat integration of all the optional CDO functionality, like:
- query definition and execution
- import/export of resources
- resource browsing (integrated in the generic repository browser)
- history browsing
- explicit locking and a locks view
- local and remote annotation of CDOModelElements
- others?
