Hi,
Snjezana have been working on
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-8548 (easy Attach to
Remote debugger)
and Fred is about to work on
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-8972 (copy classpath
library to project)
which both are things that actually should exist/be contributed to Eclipse JDT at some
point.
The question is where do we put them today ?
Looking at existing modules putting it in common under a new plugin named
org.jboss.tools.common.jdt.* is probably the best fit,
but since common is also much more than that its not the best - its actually mostly
related to xmodel than anything else - and
I could see the interest in installing these JDT features without having to require all of
xmodel and its editors extensions installed.
The alternative I see is creating a new module (sigh) named jdt with org.jboss.tools.jdt.*
as its base and
we create a matching feature named "JBoss Tools JDT - Extensions for Eclipse
JDT"
I'm leaning to the JDT module approach, but since i'm really not a fan of adding
more and more modules without
a good reason I would like to hear if anyone has convincing arguments for or against this
move ?
Thanks,
