Cas Editor split for easy RCP app integration

Hi all,

I am proposing that we split the Cas Editor into two parts,
one core part and one part which deals with eclipse ide integration.

The core part will be designed to be reusable by RCP applications which
need to perform CAS viewing/editing. An example for such an application
is an annotation tool which is connected to document repository.

The ide part will ensure that the Cas Editor is integrated into the eclipse
ide as it is now.

As part of the split I would like to work with the community to define 
an API which
can be used to integrate and extend the Cas Editor in various ways.

Any opinions?

Sounds good to me. That way the Eclipse integration could also take care of resolving imports via the Java
Classpath if a XMI resides within a Java project.

Cheers,

Richard

Re: Cas Editor split for easy RCP app integration

+1, really a nice idea Jörn , that may help other existing platforms (like
IntelliJ) developing a specialized CAS Editor (or create new UI tool for
UIMA).

  I cannot see how that helps the development of Cas Editors for other
non-eclipse platforms?

The core part will still depend on eclipse and contains the Annotation
Editor together with the views.

from what you said in the first email I understood the core wouldn't have
contained Eclipse dependencies, however I still think this refactoring is a
good thing.

No, that is a misunderstanding, almost any code inside the Cas Editor 
depends
on eclipse APIs.

Re: Cas Editor split for easy RCP app integration

Hi all,

the Cas Editor is now split in a core and ide part.
