The initial implementation of the Device framework has started supporting a state machine mechanism. It should be refactored and it might be disassociate from device extension point. The state machine is a powerful mechanism to provide creation of complex and structured devices
According Committers meeting: http://wiki.eclipse.org/DSDP/TML/CommitterAgenda27Feb08#New_Bugzilla_entries
During some meeting in EclipseCon2008 we decide review the state machine architecture to include an extensible mechanism more robust. One suggestion was uses OSGi architecture. At now we are investigating the new architecture.
It would be nice if the new state machine mechanism consider intermediate/intermittent states that a device should have while a transition is taking place. For long running transitions this will be very useful, specially if state query is needed.
Hi all, This first version of the state machine mechanism does not have intermediate states, but it is possible to know if the state machine is performing a transition (and which transition). We need to discuss a little deeper the intermediate states issue. The OSGi investigation will be postponed due to other priorities (by using it, we would change the way one user can declare states and transitions and this is not our intention right now). The code for now is on: branch_dsdp_tml_0_1_1_head Daniel.
