An often request is the ability to add cookies to different loaders. This may not be desirable for some cases, but if needed, the architecture should support it. And it is desirable to do it on datasystem layer, because other layers are just presentations of this one. The addition should be declarative and activated just when the loader really needs to provide the cookie, so no classes are loaded and no code executed during the registration.
One of the request can be found at http://openide.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=251482&listName=dev
We plan to do something similar in XML module, so if we could use OpenIDE solution it would be great.
First implementation of getLookup() on new DataObject is on branch ds_16389. It uses the old datasystem though (FolderLookup).
Changed owner David S. -> David K.
Changing TM to FUTURE for several DataSystem enhancements. The DS are planned for rewrite and so it does not make sense to invest time into these enhancements. If you think the issue is important and should be fixed for 4.0 then feel free to let me know. I'm open to change the plan.
Any need for this with new project system?
