What kind of object to store changing values?

[Guillaume Liegard]

Hello,

I am making a tool to monitor process activities of a host. So I want to
publish a representation of each process on the blackboard and update them
on a regular basis.

My problem is to choose the best kind of objet to represent each process on
the blackboard.

1. Can I use assets as they don't seem to be modifiable and I don't want to
create new objects everytime (garbage collector)?

2. What exactly are Change Reports? Can I use them in this case?

I have seen the method blackboard.publishChange(Object, Collection); but I
don't know how to get back the change reports (when other plugins have
suscribed to this object).

3. Are FrameSets a good way to deal with simple problems like that?
Following a previous mail, I had a look at FrameSets. The mechanism seems
very complex for such a simple problem.

4. Aren't POJOs a good solution for this simple problem? What are the
drawbacks?

Thanks you very much for your advises.

Best regards.
