PTP/designs/services

top level: org.eclipse.ptp.services.core and org.eclipse.ptp.services.ui. The core plugin will provide the service and service provider extension point and interfaces. The UI plugin will provide a configuration wizard, wizard page templates, and configuration page templates.

Services Configuration Wizard

The PTP resource manager concept will be extended to include the management of all services that relate to resources required for application development. These will include:

• Launch
• Debug
• Project location (filesystem)
• Build
• Indexing

A configuration wizard will provide a means of configuring all these services in one process. The following images show an example of how the configuration wizard will operate.

1. On entry, the wizard will display a standard page.

2. The following pages will be contributed by the services. In this case, the project location service has contributed a wizard page that allows the user to select a local or remote project location.

3. If the user selects a remote location, the wizard will display a page that allows the user to configure the remote location properties.

4. The wizard will continue displaying pages for each service that has contributed wizard pages. Before the wizard completes, it will display a page that shows all services that have been configured, and allows the user to add and/or change the configuration of services. Selecting the "Configure..." button for a particular service will re-invoke the wizard pages for that service.

Service Configuration Properties

The resource manager view displays the status of resource managers. It will be extended to display the status of all the services associated with the resource manager, in addition to the existing PTP concept of resource management (launch/monitoring). It will remain in the PTP core plugin.
