Description Matthias Wienand

An adapter can have dependencies to other adapters. For example, the FXRelocateOnDragPolicy depends on the FXResizeRelocatePolicy. Therefore, if a FXRelocateOnDragPolicy is bound as an adapter for a specific part. That part has to provide a FXResizeRelocatePolicy as an adapter as well. Otherwise, the configuration is inconsistent.

There should be a way of declaring those dependencies and a tool to check if they are fulfilled given a specific configuration.

I am not sure wether a general mechanism is needed here. Each adapter that implements the IAdaptable.Bound interface may do respective checks in its setAdaptable() method, or when being activated (if its activatable). Resolving this als WORKSFORME though.
