Where we are with Retouche migration?

The following are all the areas missing to achieve NetBeans 5.5 feature parity.

Functionality not rewritten yet

• JPA refactoring
• Web services refactoring
• EJB refactoring
• JPA editor checks/hints
• Web services editor checks/hints
• DDLoaders
• FQN search (need to cooperate with javacore team)
• RetoucheUtil/GenerationUtil/SourceUtil consolidation (not critical, just to clean up)
• JSF from Entity wizard
• xml/tools (XML team)

Eliminate TODO: RETOUCHE comments

In j2ee && web modules I see 9 major rewrites still needed (wild guess is 3 days/rewrite). Other TODOs are very simple, few line comments, mostly because they are not able to call some not-yet-migrated code, they shoud be easy to fix, couple of them per day for one developer. I am not sure about the status of WS, Milan has to clarify more. If CRUD should be more advanced comparing to NB5.5, it will require at least 8-10 days.

number in parenthesis is count of TODO: RETOUCHE usages related to particular feature

j2ee module

TODO: RETOUCHE - 102 matches in 59 files (47 are major rewrites, rest is just minor functionality disabled/changed)

• major:
  • appclient
    • main class updater (can copy from j2se) (1)
  • ejbcore
    • ejb hints (expose method in local/remote - method implemented, but infrastructure not done) (7)
    • generate DTO action (9)
    • EJB nodes - subnodes for methods/fields (9)
    • EjbJar WS Support (3)
  • persistence
    • DB completion (5)
    • jpa2xxx panel + infrastructure (used in Session Facade and CRUD) (13)
• minor examples:
  • use of FQN search
  • use of waitScanFinished
  • creation of unique name
  • ...

web module

TODO: RETOUCHE - 16 matches in 15 files (3+ major)

• major:
  • jsf
    • refactoring (3)

websvc module

not many TODO: RETOUCHE, but 43 'jmi' imports in 14 files, I am not sure about exact status, ask Milan?
