ECF API Refactoring
Prior to 1.0, ECF will be going through a concerted API and exemplary app refactoring effort. See below for list of desired refactorings and current state
Contents
API Refactorings
'Low-end' Execution Environment Support
See: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=149024
Problem: Dependency on javax.security.auth.callback.* classes. These classes are not available in Framework 1.1 (they are part of JAAS classes that are optional for F1.1)
Removed ECF core and all provider references to classes
javax.security.auth.callback.Callback; javax.security.auth.callback.CallbackHandler; javax.security.auth.callback.NameCallback; javax.security.auth.callback.UnsupportedCallbackException;
Status: DONE Explanation: Added new classes and changed existing references to above classes to classes in ECF org.eclipse.ecf.core.security package:
org.eclipse.ecf.core.security.Callback; org.eclipse.ecf.core.security.CallbackHandler; org.eclipse.ecf.core.security.NameCallback; org.eclipse.ecf.core.security.UnsupportedCallbackException;
Add 'removeListener' methods
Add removeListener methods in IChatRoomContainer (and in IPresenceContainer). Also check other listener add and check for availability of remove methods. See: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=160968
Streamline ClientSOContainer
Streamline handling of creating/passing in connect data for new kind of authentication. See bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=150398
Move IInvitationListener
Move (in presence API) access to IInvitationListener to IChatRoomManager rather than IPresenceContainer. See: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=160137
Status: Not Done
Introduce Convention for Container Adapters
Change all occurrences of I<whatever>Container that are intended to be used as adapters off of IContainer (via IContainer.getAdapter(I<whatever>Container) to have the following naming convention:
Was: I<whatever>Container Will be: I<whatever>ContainerAdapter
This way, it should be more obvious which interface in a given API plugin is the container adapter that should be use for the call to IContainer.getAdapter
Status: Not Done
Split org.eclipse.ecf Core Plugin into 2 or 3 Plugins
Refactor org.eclipse.ecf plugin into 2 or 3 plugins. This is a large refactoring effort. See discussion thread on mailing list: http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/ecf-dev/msg00399.html
Status: Not Done
Add Bulletin Board API to ECF Plugins and Features
Add Bulletin Board API. See: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=150756
Status: Not Done
