Description Martin Oberhuber

2007-01-18 10:25:25 EST

RSE code should be further refactored to split UI from non-UI parts. A Headless Eclipse should be able to perform Launches through RSE-provided services / subsystems. This means providing non-UI (headless) APIs for:
- Accessing the SystemRegistry, getting IHost objects
- Getting ISubSystem, ISubSystemConfiguration objects as well as services
- Using IFileServiceSubsystem as well as other ISubSystem and IService APIs
  for actions like upload, download, run-shell-command during a headless Launch

Action items include:
* Generalize and simplify the handling of SWT "Shell" in RSE
* Some more stuff should be migrated from UI to Core; do a little bit at a time
  - Events to go to Core
  - After that, ISubSystem should be able to go to Core
* Define an ICredentialProvider to be used by IConnectorService for password
  queries -- after that, IConnectorService should be able to go to Core

Dave - did I get you right that you wanted much of this done by M5?

Comment 2 Martin Oberhuber

2007-01-18 10:48:40 EST

Some existing [api] bugs for this:
bug 168870 - rename the core package in UI
bug 168973 - move filters to core
bug 168975 - move event handling to core
bug 168977 - move bulk of IConnectorService to core

M5 is certainly the goal for the 4 defects listed. It may not be possible to satisfy the entire use case that was outlined in the committer call by then however.

Comment 4 David Dykstal

added bug 176211 to the dependencies

Comment 5 Martin Oberhuber

org.eclipse.rse.ui/plugin.xml/systemTypes extension also needs to go to core, in order to make sure it is available in a headless scenario.

Martin --

All the dependencies for this bug appear to be finished for this release. Bug 182771 and bug 176211 are deferred according to our committer meeting. We should probably have a continuation item for this for the next release as another bug. I recommend removing the last dependency and closing this bug as FIXED and opening a new one with the leftover dependencies. Sound OK?

Comment 7 Martin Oberhuber

Closing this bug for TM 2.0 as per Dave's comment. We have achieved a lot of improved UI/Non-UI splitting as per the list of dependent bugs. Full support for headless Launches must be deferred to a later release.

Work on the remaining issues will be tracked via bug #176211, bug #183771 and additional bugs to be created when planning the next TM release.

Bug 215820 is about moving SystemRegistry implementation into non-UI.

[target cleanup] 2.0 RC1 was the original target milestone for this bug
