Metamodel services
The idea is to collect most of Sphinx extension points under one extension point, the Metamodel Services. This unique extension point will provide the glue to manage a new metamodel by Sphinx and will have the flexibility to be dispatched over many plug-ins depending on the architecture.
The tables below show the current extension points and their corresponding plug-ins
| Plug-in | Extension Points |
| org.eclipse.sphinx.emf | customCommands |
| editingDomainFactoryListeners | |
| metaModelDescriptors | |
| modelConverters | |
| resourceHandlers | |
| resourceLocators | |
| resourceScopeProviders |
| Plug-in | Extension Points |
| org.eclipse.sphinx.emf.workspace | editingDomains |
| modelSaveLifecycleListeners | |
| uriChangeDetectorDelegates | |
| uriChangeListeners |
The tables below show an overview of the expected extension points and their corresponding plug-ins
| Plug-in | Extension Points | Note |
| org.eclipse.sphinx.emf | metaModelDescriptors | Leave as is |
| metaModelServices | New, Like in Artop but descriptorId will be metaModelDescriptorIdPattern | |
| modelConverters | Leave as is | |
| resourceHandlers | Convert to MMS, Replace nsURIPattern by metaModelDescriptorIdPattern |
| Plug-in | Extension Points | Note |
| org.eclipse.sphinx.emf.edit | customCommands | Deprecate, keep only in compatibility layer |
| resourceLocators | Deprecate, keep only in compatibility layer | |
| tabDescriptorProviders | To be provided as MMS, Bug Sphinx 340576 |
| Plug-in | Extension Points | Note |
| org.eclipse.sphinx.emf.workspace | editingDomains/mapping | Deprecate, keep only in compatibility layer |
| editingDomains/factory | Convert to MMS | |
| editingDomainFactoryListeners | Convert to MMS, override should be supported as in Artop | |
| modelSaveLifecycleListeners | Convert to MMS, override should be supported as in Artop | |
| modelSynchronizerDelegates | New, To be provided as MMS, Current impl BasicModelSynchronizerDelegate | |
| modelDescriptorSynchronizerDelegates | New, To be provided as MMS | |
| resourceScopeProviders | Convert to MMS | |
| resourceScopeMarkerSynchronizerDelegates | New, To be provided as MMS | |
| uriChangeListeners | Leave as is | |
| uriChangeDetectorDelegates | Leave as is, Maybe merge with uriChangeListeners |
