Description Mark Macdonald CLA 2011-01-13 09:49:13 EST
Simon would like a page that shows what extensions and services are installed in the registry and allows one to look at and potentially install new plug-ins

Something like...

[type a plugin url here]   [install button]
show metadata here

PluginX
   Extensions
      Extension1Name    Extension1Point    Awad of json
      Extension2Name    Extension2Point    A wad of json
   Services
      Service1RefId    InterfaceName  Properties
      Service2RefId    InterfaceName   Properties

Yes that looks about right. In addition to Extensions and Services might be other name/value properties that we want to display.

Moving to M5, the EAS and other issues were higher prio.

I just pushed a first attempt to the repo. You can try it out by going to http://localhost:8080/view-registry.html. Currently it only shows the plugins & services that I've registered in the glue code (view-registry.js). In general, however, the widget can visualize any instance of eclipse.Registry. It'll be more useful for development when I come up with an easy way to inject the widget into other pages, so you can see if the plugins/services you're working with look as you expected.

Also, I hit an issue when using Firefox where a service's serviceType seems to be missing some information. Will ask Richard about this.
For now, Chrome gives the best result.

Ignore Comment #4: the problem I observed was due to stale plugin data in my Firefox localstore.

This was released awhile ago. We can open new bugs for any further enhancements to the plugins page.
