Create Data Manager Project Wizard

The wizard for creating a data manager project will have the following responsibilities. NOTE: The *mdrname variable in the package names will use the value of the Data manager name field, in lowercase form, with spaces removed. The *userpackageprefix variable is a value supplied by the user to indicate the prefix for all generated package names.

• Creates projects:
  • *userpackageprefix.*mdrname.dataManager.server
  • *userpackageprefix.*mdrname.dataManager.client (if client option selected)
• Creates Activator.java
• Creates *mdrnameDataManager.java
• Creates *mdrnameDataManagerClient.java (if client option selected)
• Create config.proprties
• Create domainEPR.xml
• Create MANIFEST.MF
• Creates Plug-in Dependencies
  • org.apache.xerces_2.8.0*
  • org.apache.xml.resolver*
  • muse-complete-2.2.0.jar (SHOULD WE LIST org.apache.muse.complete INSTEAD? WHERE TO GET THIS?) (this is required only for OSGi targets)
  • INSERT J2EE PREREQ PLUGINS & JARS HERE
  • org.eclipse.osgi_3.3.2.R33x*
  • org.eclipse.cosmos.common
  • org.eclipse.dc.dataManager (only when project is standard data manager)
  • org.eclipse.dc.mdr (only when project is MDR)
  • org.eclipse.cosmos.management.common (WHAT IS THIS?)
• Creates Plug-in Dependencies (Client Project)
  • org.eclipse.dc.dataManager.client

When the 'Create Data Manager' project wizard is launched, properties general to all data managers can be set on the first page:

1. MDR Name (used for name in manifest and generated project/package/class names; denoted by *mdrname elsewhere in this design)
2. Prefix for generated plug-in and package names (denoted by *userpackageprefix elsewhere in this design)
3. Resource_ID
4. Display Name
5. Description
6. Whether to create a client-side plug-in

Here is a mockup of the appearance of the wizard:

Create client plug-in option

When the Create client plug-in option is selected, the user will be prompted for a custom class to be instantiated for the client. If the option is not selected, the default implementation of MdrClient will be used.
