Re: CVS modules proposed reorg

Mike:
the suggested CVS reorg is really just about moving modules around for
now, not change yet the plugins layout.
Bu there is some good thinking to be done along the lines you suggested
that would make working on diffeernt plugins easier for everyone.

Subject: Re: [Phpeclipse-devel] CVS modules proposed reorg


Hi,

if I recall correctly, one of the things thought about some time ago was
to simplify PHPEclipse in a way that detaches anything non-core and have
just the base plugin. Everything else, like Smarty and Debug support
would be packaged externally. There are many advantages here. A very
important one is that the structure of the main functional areas of
PHPEclipse becomes much clearer and faster to grasp by developers
interested in helping out. It is also much easier to test (optional
plugin vs. stable base plugin etc.) and also to release. 

I am not really a Java programmer and helped this project primarily by
occasionally releasing stuff on Sourceforge. This is not even my idea.
Therefore I am probably the least qualified to suggest anything on this
matter, but do so anyway before nobody else does. 

I would suggest to strip the Smarty editor and all debug-related plugins
from the PHPeclipse core. Not throw them away, but have them live as
optional standalone plugins that depend on the PHPeclipse base plugin. 
 
Smarty support is very rudimentary at present. There is just some
rudimentary syntax highlighting that is also broken. Also, the current
Smarty editor depends on the net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.xml.* plugins. I
believe these are copies of a WTP predecessor or something of that sort.
Therefore these should probably be dropped too at some point once the
PHPEclipse code inherits the needed functionality from either WTP or
some other appropriate Eclipse components. That would remove plenty of
code bloat from the PHPEclipse source. Besides, the Smarty editor is
just an editor and could or even should be a standalone plugin by
itself. 

DBG and XDebug support:
Right now there are two people working on debugger support in PHPeclipse
that I am aware of. Robert on DBG and Christian on XDebug. DBG support
is currently "built-in" into the base component while Robert is working
on a branch with XDebug support. This makes it quite hard to package and
release and confusing for people not involved in the development process
too. For the end-user it would be great if the support for the desired
debugger could just be installed as an optional plugin. PHPEclipse as
such does already basically work with both, right? I would be grateful
for comments from Robert and Christian to shed some light on this
matter. 

I do not know in how far this would suggest or even require further
changes to the CVS structure as already proposed by Philippe. So please
comment.

Thanks
Mike

Hi:
Here is the proposed reorg of the module I am planning to ask to sf.net.
This would be about moving files/dirs and prune empty dirs so history
will be kept.
The main goal is to keep as top level modules core plugins and features,
and move
Please comment... 
No comment means acceptance. I will ask that in a couple days.

Modules that stay the way they are:
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.core/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.debug.core/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.debug.launching/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.debug.phphelp/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.debug.ui/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.externaltools/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.feature/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.feature.core /
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.launching/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.nl1/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.phphelp/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.phphelp.nl1/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.phpunit/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.smarty.ui /
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.tests/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.ui/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.updatesite/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.webbrowser/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.wizards/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.xdebug.core /
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.xdebug.ui/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.xml.core/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.xml.ui/


Those modules would be moved from top level under wiki/
org.plog4u.wiki/
org.plog4u.wiki.test /
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.wiki/

Those (empty dirs) would be deleted:
org.eclipse.jdt.debug/
pluginphpeclipsetest/
testplugin/
phpeclipse/

Those two files would be moved from top level under build/ 
phpeclipse-extssh.psf
phpeclipse-pserver.psf

Those modules would be moved from top level under archives/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.css.core/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.css.ui/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.html.ui /
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.js.core/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.js.ui/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.quantum.sql/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.sql/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.monitor.core/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.monitor.ui /
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.news/
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.jtidy/


Cheers
Philippe
