Description Curtis d'Entremont CLA 2005-03-09 20:04:03 EST
Currently some views listen for selection events on other views and make use 
of this information to update their own selections to something related to the 
original selection. For example, if you have the log view and log interactions 
view open at the same time, and select a log record in one of them, the other 
view will automatically update and select that same log record, if it's there.

The problem is that there's no standard way to do this. The platform should 
provide this service to all views. Views should be able to:

1. Broadcast selection changes to all other views that are listening.
2. Listen for selection changes from other views.
3. Query the current selection (for newly opened views).

The information broadcast should be a common form that most views would 
understand. The model object associated with the selection would be a good 
example. In addition, for those selections that have a time associated with 
them, it should also broadcast the time, in case the receiving method does not 
understand the model object, it could fall back to the time (if it's a time-
based view).

Important for higher product.

Comment 3 Dominique Guilbaud CLA 2005-03-25 04:28:13 EST
Important comments from 75258 for trace interactions (UML2SD):
Currently, the trace interactions broadcast their selection by the mean of an 
org.eclipse.hyades.uml2sd.trace.selection.IDateSelection implementing object.
It also listens to such kind of selections made in other views.
This allows to scroll in the SD, giving a date and is mandatory for an higher 
product.
87602 (the kept record on this subject) must take these capabilities into 
account when proposing a more widely used system.

Deferring from 4.1 as per the official 4.1 enhancement plan.

Setting target to future so it doesn't show up in the 4.2 feature query.

Mass update of P1 enhancements and defects targetted to future to P2.

As of TPTP 4.6.0, TPTP is in maintenance mode and focusing on improving quality by resolving relevant defects and increasing test coverage through test creation, automation, Build Verification Tests (BVTs), and expanded run-time execution. As such, TPTP is not delivering enhancements. As part of the TPTP Bugzilla housecleaning process (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Bugzilla_Housecleaning_Processes), this enhancement is resolved as WONTFIX. For this enhancement to be considered, please re-open with an attached patch including the Description Document (see http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/documents/process/development/description_documents.html), code (see http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/documents/resources/TPTPDevGuide.htm), and test cases (see http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/documents/process/TPTP_Testing_Strategy.html).
