Teiid Designer would like to depend on org.apache.directory.studio plugins -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-19808 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-19808 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: target-platform, teiid Affects Versions: 4.2.3.Final Reporter: Paul Richardson Assignee: Barry LaFond Attachments: build.xml, p2.diff *Reason:* Teiid Designer currently employs a UI for interrogating and importing metadata from an LDAP server. This UI (2 wizards) is limited and prone to issues, eg. [TEIIDDES-2478|https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIIDDES-2478]. The project [directory.apache.org|https://directory.apache.org] provides a more sophisticated LDAP browser View UI but has componentized into smaller reusable widgets. The BrowserWidget provides the main tree view and querying ability. Teiid would like to reuse this widget in its UI. Originally, an attempt was made to copy the widget yet porting in this fashion required the porting of 100+ classes hence a dependency makes far more sense. The current working implementation of Teiid with this widget can be found here: https://github.com/phantomjinx/teiid-designer/tree/ldap-studio The current release of the apache.directory project is 2 years old. However, speaking to one of the developers on #apache-directory, the project is being actively maintained and a release is being considered with the next couple of months. In addition, the [svn repository|https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/directory/studio/trunk] is receiving commits. *Project page/sources:* * [directory.apache.org|https://directory.apache.org] * [svn repository|https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/directory/studio/trunk] * [udpate site | http://directory.apache.org/studio/update/2.x/] *Version:* 2.0.0 *License and owner:* Apache licence and Foundation *Original p2 repo:* http://directory.apache.org/studio/update/2.x/ *JBoss mirror:* http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/requirements/apache-director... *Include Sources:* Not available from existing update site but may well be in the next release. *Affected projects:* Teiid Designer *Include in JBDS:* Yes *Type of dependency:* distribution *List of bundles added/removed:* * org.apache.directory.api.ldap.model * org.apache.directory.studio.common.core * org.apache.directory.studio.common.ui * org.apache.directory.studio.connection.core * org.apache.directory.studio.connection.ui * org.apache.directory.studio.ldapbrowser.common * org.apache.directory.studio.ldapbrowser.core * -org.apache.directory.studio.ldapbrowser.ui- Eliminated the dependency {code} <!-- Needed by Teiid Designer for support with ldap browsing UI --> <location includeAllPlatforms="false" includeMode="slicer" includeSource="true" type="InstallableUnit"> <repository location="http://directory.apache.org/studio/update/2.x/"/> <unit id="org.apache.directory.studio.ldapbrowser.feature.feature.group" version="2.0.0.v20130628"/> </location> {code}
