you know eclipse better then me and your concerns about embedding
may
be right. but if you guys could work towards something decoupled
from it's view technology, I might be able to re-use large parts of
it.
I certainly think there may be opportunity here from a model perspective. For example,
creating higher level types than "resource" (e.g. data source), that encapsulate
specific resource types within the server. That said, I'm not sure if there is any
support available for the AutoBean framework in Eclipse (knowing the console makes heavy
use of AutoBean). If there is, that would certainly simplify adding more detailed
capabilities.
The model used in the Eclipse POC is simply a model around the low level, generic resource
API, nothing more. It's simple, complete, but not very pretty (or usable, in my
opinion).
Best,
Rob
