Hi Ben, Trent,
For the upcoming SF 2.0 I would like to see more flexibility on using BO, Localization and DDT metadata as the base for new projects.

Ex:

• Been able to create a new Localization Project based on a current one and not having to resort on copying messages one by one or hacking the current SF database.
• For the DDT, I would like to be able to copy all objects like Entities, Views, SProcs, etc. into a new database.
• Same thing for BOs, in which I can simply copy a project.

The whole idea is to been able to startup a new application project based on a current one.

Thanks!!!

Hmmm... yes.

Hi Ben,

Great news indeed
I am very happy to see that you guys do away with the StrataFrame database to store these metadata and better yet, been able to use it for creating new projects in which I may need 75% of my current BOs, I am currently in that process and it is very painful having to re-create the BO metadata that I already worked on in another project.

About the messaging, I use them all the time and currently storing the XML files in my project, have them as part of the application strongly typed, it is a huge step forward.  I love it already.

One clarification, so when working with another developer, if I create a new BO entity in my computer, then all I would need to do is check-in that class, so it will be available for other developers, right?

Correct, Edhy.  Check in your changes and the other person just needs to get the latest version.
