I understand that you want to release it. Most developers probably don't try Beta or
RC releases. I do hope that not everybody runs into the same critical problems with the
graph editor as I did.
Regarding to your questions:
How are we going to handle multiple versions of Smooks if the tooling become dependent on
the runtime it self?
That is a very good question. I have an idea how to solve that. By creating a custom
classloader repository for each version of Smooks, you can provide support for multiple
Smooks versions. In the java project the user needs to configure which Smooks version he
uses. The Smooks editor can then dynamically use the classloader repository that belongs
to that version. I believe that creating this classloader system is probably easier then
creating Smooks independent readers, for every input source that Smooks supports.
Are the Smooks readers capable of handling partial documents which is how users normally
edit files.
I hope I get what you mean with the question. As long as the reader gets a syntax correct
file, it will be able to create a data structure from it. It is then up to the editor to
decide if the structure is compatible enough against the data structure it may already
have. But that wouldn't probably be any different then what it now already does for
it's XML or Java source.
