Hi Johan,<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">* how much is really changing in the public side of the API, is it maybe<br>
better to wait until the next release before any serious attempt?<br>
</blockquote></div><br>I do not know much about the scope of OMERO's API changes overall, but I can comment on the OMEROMetadataStore.<br><br>In order to provide support for multiple versions of the OME data model (e.g., multiple revisions of the OME-XML schema), we largely overhauled the Bio-Formats MetadataStore API. OMEROMetadataStore is OMERO's implementation of that interface for pushing metadata into the OMERO DB using the OMERO.importer client. So that's why you are seeing such a large discrepancy between trunk and beta 2.3.<br>
<br>As you pointed out, some methods are still missing. We are still tying up the last few loose ends, making sure all the needed methods are available and working, etc. As for whether you should wait, I suppose that depends on whether you plan on using the OMEROMetadataStore directly (i.e., for pushing information into OMERO, like importer), or are concentrating more on rendering and visualization (i.e., pulling information out of OMERO, like insight).<br>

hello again, I've started some serious hacking, login works and I can list<br>
projects etc. I found the javadocs a bit thin so I started digging the<br>
source. in particular, I like the file<br>
<a href="http://warlock.openmicroscopy.org.uk:5555/job/OMERO/ws/trunk/components/importer/src/ome/formats/OMEROMetadataStore.java/*view*/" target="_blank">http://warlock.openmicroscopy.org.uk:5555/job/OMERO/ws/trunk/components/importer/src/ome/formats/OMEROMetadataStore.java/*view*/</a><br>
. now, I see when I download it that some things are not in synch with the<br>
latest beta e.g. p.sizeOfChannels() and other semi-important functions do<br>
not exist in the latest public beta. so<br>
<br>
* how much is really changing in the public side of the API, is it maybe<br>
better to wait until the next release before any serious attempt?<br>
<br>
* if I just want to study how Insight calls the API, are there any files<br>
in particular that you recommend? I find "the meat" to be rather spread<br>
out.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
