E4/Resources
Flexible Resource Model
- From Architecture Council/Minutes May 15 2008#Workspace, Resources, Content_Types:
- Project Nesting
- Physically: Allow .project file below another .project file be separate full-blown projects -- break iterating over outer's children when finding a project
- Logically: Have nested project inherit Preferences from outer project
- Namespace Resolution (multiple projects with same name in a workspace)
- Inclusion of Files from Anywhere on the file system
- Full Native Support for Symbolic Links (avoiding problems with cyclic symlinks)
- Add/remove project type/nature
- Listeners and plug-in Loading
- Getting rid of Project for RCP (see also e4/RCP Future) -- is the notion of "Project" a plumbing or User Artifact? Where should builders etc be hung off?
- Content Types:
- Pattern Matching for content types rather than just file extensions + stream evaluation
- Case sensitive patterns for content types
- UI for Project-specific content types
- Project Nesting
