[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-19808) Teiid Designer would like to depend on org.apache.directory.studio plugins

[Paul Richardson (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-19808?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Paul Richardson updated JBIDE-19808:
------------------------------------
    Attachment: p2.diff


A p2.diff executed with the following command is attached, where the mirror was created using a clone of the build.xml script outlined in the mirroring instructions.
{code}
./p2diff file:///home/phantomjinx/programming/java/tdesigner/ldap/mirror/0.1.0-SNAPSHOT http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/luna/ > p2.diff
{code}
Thus, all plugins being brought in by the apache update site are denoted by "<".

I do refer to a specific feature since the apache directory update site is constructed differently from normal. It only contains the features with no normal layout of artifacts/content/plugins/features.

I have listed the plugins I actually use in the JIRA since there is no reason that we could not pull only those (just not sure whether it would work with the current update site or not).

The plugins do carry their own perspective and BrowserView. I was trying to avoid them by not including the plugin org.apache.directory.studio.ldapbrowser.ui but unfortunately some resources are required when refresh the BrowserWidget. Odd I know, but an exception was produced when it was not included.

As far as eclipse plugins are concerned, versions are not specified in manifests or feature.xml files hence the plugins are happy to use existing luna plugins.

> *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.
