[FR-devel] Introducing the notion of project in 0.6.0?

[Laurent Julliard]

All,

Before I embark into fixing a couple of "bugs" which are actually 
feature enhancement I'd like to have your opinion about whether we 
should introduce the notion of "Project" before we go any further.

Most IDEs today operate under a project umbrella and when you start 
those IDEs the first thing you must do is to create a new/open an 
existing project environment.

If I refer to the Java IDEA IntellIJ product you can't de anything 
before you have defined a project. In FR I see a project has having 
the following properties:
- A Full name
- A file name (xxxx.frp - frp = FreeRIDE Project)
- A source path (where the Ruvy source for this project is located). 
Can be multiple pathes
- A "class path", that we should call include path I guess which where 
to find the various required module (other than the path already 
available in the ruby interpreter used for that project)
- Which Ruby interpreter to use

OF course many of the properties that are saved globally in FR today 
will be saved under a given project context (e.g. the set of open 
files in the editor when you open the project again, the breakpoint 
that were placed there,etc...)

I'd like to hear from you. Please contribute your ideas/comments/how 
to implement it,etc...

Thanks
Laurent
