> Bring Back Capabilities
> ------------------------
>
> Key: JBIDE-782
> URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBIDE-782
> Project: JBoss Tools
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JBoss Tools Core
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0.Beta3
> Reporter: Max Andersen
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.0.0.Beta4
>
>
> Capabilities, library set, templates are a very usefull feature.
> Here is a list of reasons why we disabled it (and things that would be relevant to improve)...lets find out if these are really true or we can fix or live with these:
> 1) All templates, including libraries seem to be copied to the users workspace on startup. That has several issues:
> a) why is a copy necessary ? Can't we just use directly from our plugins ? Users workspace should not contain something that is not workspace local.
> b) users can change the templates we have tested and verified - makes supporting them pretty hard.
> c) what happens in case of a new version ? do we overwrite whatever changes that are done ? Users won't be happy.
> My Suggested solution: Separate the capabilities/libraries etc. up into System preinstalled/plugin provided plugins and User templates. If a user want's to redefine an existing template they make a copy with a different name.
> 2) Library sets are very close to class libraries...so why not put them/define them as such ?
> And then we could add a "Copy class libraries" feature to actually copy any class library to the project - giving users teh best of two worlds and no redundant functionallity.
> 3) Capabilities are very much like facets just more dynamic...should it be exposed like that instead ?
> (issue: what about on projects that are not facet projects ... maybe a "Capability" facet could be made ? ...will it work with all the version number checks they got ?)
> 4) It seem to be bound to JSF/Struts....why ?
