From the ASF page -
http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#incubator
it sounds like sub-projects should go through the incubator, so maybe
we should just create a branch for tooling under the existing openjpa
project and just handle it just as another OpenJPA binary release with
its own JIRA component for bug/feature tracking and not deal with the
sub-project process overhead for now.
No need to go through the incubator to create a tooling sub-project for
OpenJPA. Maybe 'sub-project' is not quite the right term here, but the
point is that the OpenJPA team can carve out svn space to develop and
maintain OpenJPA Eclipse tooling and you can package/release that stuff
however you see fit (usual caveats apply). No need for incubator foo here...

Yup, I agree.
Did this separate subproject require approval from Apache Board?

For Geronimo, we also setup a Devtools subproject for our Eclipse
plugins. I would suggest doing that for OpenJPA, as the maven
builds are different enough that you don't want non-Eclipse users to
deal with the delays of downloading an Eclipse runtime for the build
steps. Also, you may want to release the tooling more or less often
than a given branch(es) or support different levels of Eclipse with
different versions of the plugins.

Hi Pinaki,
Thanks for starting this activity. I've noticed that OpenEJB has a
separate
project for the OpenEJB Eclipse Plugin. Maybe we should consider
following
the same path? Not sure if it's a lot of overhead to have a separate
project like that or not.
Thoughts?

Hi,
For Eclipse IDE users, a plugin is available to help development
with
OpenJPA [1]. It adds a builder step to Java projects in Eclipse
workspace
so
that all your persistent classes are bytecode enhanced as part of the
Eclipse's incremental compilation process.
Please note that, at this point, this plugin is in very early
stage of
development and is not part of official OpenJPA release or
maintenance.
