Description Svata Dedic 2002-05-24 13:25:08 UTC 
We need to distinguish between individual kinds of
tools. Currently the type is based on the basic
implementation type (CompilerType, DebuggerType,
ExecutorType), but that is not sufficient. The
system should be designed so that it will be
possible to mark a Compiler, with its capabilities
allowing other modules to filter & pick up those
tools which are applicable for a particular task.

Note: this task may overlap with basic project
support; however I expect java module to be the
first one to require such functionality, so we may
create a prototype and propose it for promotion
into projects.

This task is done for Java, all the services (executor and compiler)
are instances of given type and can be looked up by it. And if they
are also PlatformService they also provide accept method to test the
compatibility with given platform.
