[windup-dev] Eclipse API

[Ing. Ondrej Zizka]

I've looked at the legacy API.
It's based on legacy Windup types tree, namely FileMetadata.

We could replace these subtypes in the existing API with 
WindupVertexFrame subtypes.
Or restrict it on FileModel.
This approach could speed up morphing the Eclipse plugin to new Windup.

On the other hand, I belive that we will want the plugin to show also 
non-file-based data, so some API like Ian described in WINDUP-91 would 
be more appropriate - more general, and detached from the Model types. 
Which is good, IMO.
We would need either manual conversion from graph content to that, or, 
better, some mechanism for that.
Maybe some annotation based could do the work sufficiently - i.e. 
provide some mapping from Frames to that RuleMatch API.

The question is, is the first approach worth creating as intermediate step?

Regads,
