| ## This file contains a history of the changes to the API related to |
| ## Tigerstripe project management |
| ## |
| ########################################## |
| |
| ## Overall |
| X - Users should be able to create new Tigerstripe projects from the TigerstripeCore. This should |
| trigger the creation of all the necessary files in the project. IProjectSession is |
| useless and should be removed |
| X - Users should not be concerned with caching mechanism. (remove cache mentions from API) |
| X - There are currently 2 types of projects handled thru a TigerstripeProjectFactory (internal). |
| - ITigerstripeProject should be renamed to IModelProject |
| - IPluggablePluginProject should be part of API and renamed as IPluginProject |
| - IProjectChangeListener should be part of the API (move out of internal). |
| - IPhantomTigerstripeProject should be part of the API (move out of internal). |
| - INameProvider should be removed altogether. |
| - ITigerstripeVisitor should be part of the API (move out of internal) |
| - IAbstractTigerstripeProject should be renamed to ITigerstripeProject |
| - IProjectDescriptor should be removed altogether as users should only be concerned with |
| project handles, and not have to worry about the project descriptors. |
| - The API should use Eclipse resources rather than URI, java.io.File, or anything else |
| - IAbstractTigerstripeProject should implement IAdaptable |
| - Additional adapters should be implemented in a factory to adapt |
| - IProject to IAbstractTigerstripeProject |
| - IProjectSession should be removed once refactor is complete. It has been commented out and |
| kept in the meantime for reference. |
| |
| ## Plugin Projects |
| |
| ## Project lifecycle |
| - Users only manipulate project Handles (IAbstractTigerstripeProject) |
| - Project handles should implement IWorkingCopy to allow for editing. |
| - Projects as returned by TigerstripeCore are always "workingCopies". Any change on them |
| must be committed so the underlying descriptors can be updated in an atomic operation. |
| - IDependency should be renamed to IModuleProject |
| - There should be 2 types of dependencies: |
| - inheriting IProjectDependency |
| - IModuleProject (ex IDependency) |
| - IReferencedProject |
| - doSave() method to be removed from IAbstractTigerstripeProject |
| - getURI() to be removed from IAbstractTigerstripeProject |
| - getProjectLabel to be removed from IAbstractTigerstripeProject |
| - getBaseDir() to be replaced by IPath getFullPath() and IPath getLocation() similar to resources |
| and should return the corresponding folder location. |
