Eclipse and Merlin integration is not my area, but I don't think it will pose a problem. Andreas, do you run Merlin embedded in Eclipse or as a separate process? To me it sounds that you expect the clients to be fairly 'heavy', in which case the Merlin overhead could be considered fairly low, in terms of startup time and memory requirement. > this framework is also extensible with user defined > protocols (if i could use avalon services for that?). Sounds like a plan. Service-oriented architecture is the way to go. Merlin excels at it, but Eclipse itself ain't too bad either with their Plugin Connections (or what is proper term?). Going with Eclipse plugins for extending your framework, you will end up with a bigger difference between server and client code. Going with an embedded Merlin adds weight to your subsystem, but I still tend to recommend this, since you probably down the line will have more types of clients, than Eclipse based ones, such as webservers and perhaps the CDO servers being each others clients. > btw. i think the avalon/merlin/... docu would profit a lot from a common > glossary of terms ;-)) I agree. Some collections is in progress on Avalon Wiki, I think.
