ManagementView.process()

[ips]

When is it necessary to call ManagementView.process()? The Javadoc for the method don't make it clear. The following ManagementView methods update something:

updateComponent
removeComponent
applyTemplate

Do all, or just some, of these require process() to be called afterward in order to apply the updates?

Hmm mgtView.process() is not really used anymore.
So actually none of these require a process() that updates are applied.

remove/updateComponent require a reload of the mgtView so that the changes are applied though.

Can it be removed then, or at least deprecated?

Sure - if we don't find another use for this it will be removed or marked as deprecated.

I also think it would be more intuitive if at least the component that was just updated or removed was automatically updated/removed in the view (i.e. the next time getComponents*() are called).
