The reason is that the day Athens will be in the image, then it is gonna to be messy
because loading a particular version of Roassal will load a old version of Athens.
In Mondrian I played with that on some point when my changes on Morph where not in the
mainstream. No need to see this happening again.
Why not to load Athens from the Moose Configuration?

Hi,
I do not quite understand your worries.
Athens-Cairo has two parts:
- the VM side: the plugin is already nicely bundled with the Pharo VM on all operating
systems.
- the image side: the Athens canvas and Cairo binding are essentially working, but were
not yet added to Pharo 2.0 because it was not tested enough at the time of the release.
To me, the largest problem is on the VM-side, and that was nicely solved. The image-side
is solid already and will get into Pharo 3.0. But, in the meantime, I do not want to wait
for another year until we can start to benefit from the nice capabilities of Athens.
Can you be more explicit as to why we should not make this default in Pharo Morphic?
Btw, it is not enough to just load Athens. Here is what I reverse engineered:
Gofer new
squeaksource: 'Athens';
package: 'ConfigurationOfAthens';
load.
(Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfAthens) loadVersion: '2.0'.
Gofer new
smalltalkhubUser: 'ObjectProfile' project: 'Roassal';
package: 'RoassalAthens';
load.
ROPlatform setCurrent: 'athens'.
Cheers,
Doru

I would
like to start adopting Athens behind Roassal. I believe there already is a binding. The
question is what keeps us from adding Athens as a dependency to RoassalMorphic?
Well... The way I see this is slightly different. Athens should be part of the runtime
(i.e., included in Pharo) and not use as a library. I am not sure what we will gain to
consider Athens as a separate Library.
The Roassal<-->Athens bindings works well I think. We haven't spotted any
problem. Just load Athens before loading Moose while Athens is not part of Pharo.
Cheers,
Alexandre
