Description Willian Mitsuda CLA 2006-12-17 22:42:37 EST 
Fork from bug#165088 comment#54:

There are many places inside source code where a selection
is tested against many ifs to extract a common interface.

Make them all adapters would
simplify the code and make it more extensible, e.g., third-parties can expose a adapter
for a proprietary object to some Mylar structure and get integrated "automagically".
Comment 1 Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2006-12-18 17:24:38 EST 
We'll also have to provide adapter factory for platform objects, such as Project, Resource, etc...

It also seems like description is over generalized. Currently the most important use case is the actions on some arbitrary selection (elements in the Task List, nodes in Package Explorer, etc).

Eugene: please consider filing a separate bug for the Platform end of things, assuming you're talking about making IResource's adapt to ITask's.

Not sure if we really need a separate bug for this, since you will have to preserve existing functionality when converting this stuff into adapters.
