We tried to use it, but abandoned it pretty quickly. The issue wasn't that it didn't work, but that it was a bit unstable at the time and didn't quite handle everything we needed. That was a couple of years ago now, so I'm sure it's improved since then. I wish I could remember specifics, but it's been a long time now and there's been a lot of water under the bridge. --Fitz _______________________________ Brian Fitzpatrick (aka "Fitz") Senior Software Engineer, SOA-P JBoss by Red Hat ----- Original Message ----- From: "Max Rydahl Andersen" <max.andersen(a)gmail.com&gt; To: "jbosstools-dev jbosstools-dev" <jbosstools-dev(a)lists.jboss.org&gt; Cc: "soa-tools-list" <soa-tools-list(a)redhat.com&gt; Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2014 2:59:19 AM Subject: [jbosstools-dev] Use of sapphire in jboss tools projects ? Heya, In past in jboss tools core we haven't used it but I know integration stack uses it (SwitchYard? others ?) I'm just wondering: 1) Was it worth it ? 2) How much do you use it ? for xml-tree editors, graphical editors, wizards, more ? Asking since I just got aware that they plan to go out of incubation for Luna (https://www.eclipse.org/sapphire/releases/) and with https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15394 and http://screencast.com/t/058KgoS7ZK0 the value at least now seem much greater than the past API breakage issues there was. I especially like http://www.eclipse.org/sapphire/documentation/latest/versions/index.html and the zero-EMF requirement on the models ;) /max http://about.me/maxandersen _______________________________________________ jbosstools-dev mailing list jbosstools-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/jbosstools-dev _______________________________________________ Soa-tools-list mailing list Soa-tools-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/soa-tools-list
