Based on the example provided by the eclipse way process, we have seen that
some advisors gather warnings or errors set by the compiler, some set the
status of a jazz artifact (workitem correctly populated), and some perform
controls of their own (is there a copyright in the source).

Is there a way to run these advisors alone, outside of the context of an
operation? basically, I would like to check the copyrights but not try to
deliver. I guess it applies also to the first and second type of controls as
well.

Many thanks,

Nicolas

Support for this is build into the platform (it's possible to ask the
Process framework to run all advisors for an operation without actually
executing it), but this isn't currently surfaced in the change set UI.

This request is tracked in bug 11860.

Do such advisors (e.g. missing copyright) generate markers in my
eclipse:workspace? It seems like some advisor types are closely
related to
eclipse:workspace builders. Maybe markers which prevent delivery of a
change set would be displayed in the pending changes view?

Can any existing Eclipse builder/mechanism which generates a Marker be
flagged using an advisor? For example, a tool which checks code
formatting.
