[jbosstools-dev] Use of sapphire in jboss tools projects ?

[Brian Fitzpatrick]

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.

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 ;)
