Discussion
Declarative UI:
- There will be a declarative UI round-up call
- Continue declarative UI discussion at e4 symposium at Eclipse Summit Europe.
- Need to answer question: What is the value add of declarative UI?
Architectural direction:
- Need to focus down on the high value architectural issues to target
- Can't solve all the world's problems
- Need to start producing a project plan to help focus efforts
- Event storm problem
- Currently there are thousands of events that occur when a part is activated, or item is selected
- Want to investigate ways to reduce these event storms
- Dependency Injection
- Helps to achieve decoupling between components, reduce singleton accessors
- Asynchronous behaviour
- Avoid callback parameter objects
- Help with event storm by batching and clipping redundant events
- Device debugging field has been doing this for a long time
