Add new caching strategy in URLTransportUtility ----------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-19710 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-19710 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: common/jst/core Affects Versions: 4.3.0.Alpha2 Reporter: Fred Bricon Assignee: Rob Stryker Fix For: 4.3.0.Beta1 Currently, you can use URLTransportUtility like new URLTransportUtility().getCachedFileForURL(url, "Download stuff", lifespan, monitor); with lifespan possible values being : - URLTransportUtility.CACHE_UNTIL_EXIT : will cache the file during the workspace session - URLTransportUtility.CACHE_FOREVER : will cache the file forever once downloaded In certain cases, we want to be able to use CACHE_UNTIL_EXIT, but also be able to recover from network outages. So adding something like - URLTransportUtility.SAFE_CACHE_UNTIL_EXIT (feel free to find a better name) : if the remote file is available, it will be downloaded on new Eclipse session, if it's not, the last valid cache will be returned.
