Let's elaborate a bit
KDevelop3 platform became:
- a set of interfaces accessible to all plugins to get access to the
"core" stuff and have some control over what's happening in the IDE
- a shell with a mainwindow, plugin loader and project loader
- a set of utility classes
- a way for a plugin to provide more interfaces and get instances of other
plugins to use their interfaces
- a way to say "in my application I need to load this and this plugin"
(aka profiles)
So actually it was not an API, it was a basic IDE which you could extend
with plugins and customize with profiles. Optionally there was a possibility
to reimplement the shell and profiles mechanism but I never cared
about that.
I don't think my vision of KDevelop4 platform is any different from
my points above.
