Node manager on top of template #4

Closed doncieux closed 8 years ago

Use the template manager to implement a node manager.

doncieux commented 8 years ago

In the new implementation of the component, the node manager is not required: each component can call a launch file and request the nodes it requires. A node manager was supposed to centralize these resources and to avoid to launch nodes if some were available, but it is not clear yet whether it will be really useful: a simulation may end up in a bad state and reusing it may actually be a bad idea. We will see further if there is a real need for such a functionnality.
