Improving usability of the extension registry
This page tracks current state, plans, and intentions for the extension registry enhancements.
Please feel free to add comments to it.
Areas
- Create user-specific objects based on the contents of the configuration elements
- Expand ability to programmatically modify extension registry
- Add support for non-singleton bundles
- Add support for switching NLS locale without restart
Restrictions
- At least for 3.x streams we need to continue supporting pre-1.5 VMs. As such, any functionality based on annotations can only be used in an optional role
- Performance: while small performance hit can be expected every time a new functionality is added, the performance hit should be reasonable for the "minimum" headless framework start (say < 15% ?) and should scale well.
