Description Andre Boehlke CLA 2011-09-06 03:56:39 EDT 
I have a another feature request:
Cross project references are not really supported at the moment. Currently, absolute file URIs are used to create Resources. Sharing the resulting references  would not make sense, because most likely anyone could resolve them.

Let's think about it. Let's first look at the following URIs to identify project resources:

emfstore://HOSTNAME:PORT/PROJECTID/VERSION?ps=PROJECTSPACEID&r=N

... for example "emfstore://myserver.somedomain.net:8080/_XWMIUMjXEeC-dPOGAZn9qw/108?ps=_vN4oUMGnEeCTk6yzIzcC1Q&r=0"

The "ps" and “r”  parameters are needed on client side to support multiple checkouts of the same project and resource splitting. When committed to a server, the parameters need to be removed. When checking out a project, all contained references to other projects need to be bound to a project space. A project space is marked incomplete, until all cross project references are bound.

The server does not need to be touched to implement this.

Thank you for the report, I like the idea. It would be great if you could contribute a patch for EMFStore. I am happy to help you with the implementation. Do not hesitate to contact me.

Hi Andre,

I guess you are not currently working on this, are you? ;)

I will close the bug for the time being
