Hi, I'm writing this mail because I think we really need to discuss the state and investment into e4-Tooling which is *0* at the moment (I don't know about Yves but talk about my Application-Model-Editor).
I've started last year my efforts on the editor around March because it looked like 4.0 would come without a useable Application-Model-Editor (which would have been - though bad - acceptable for 4.0) which would make our whole cool modeled application useless for an application developer. This time I'd like to bring up this topic a bit earlier because if we'd really like to advertise Eclipse 4.1 as a platform to develop applications ontop of the new Eclipse 4.0 Application Platform we'd have to ship with a first class tooling. I'm 100% aligned with the current strategy that 100% of the Platform Team in Ottawa is working on make the Indigo release work on 4.1, fix wholes, improve speed, ... but I'd like to wake up those people who think they can get first class support from Eclipse 4.1 to write their new world RCP-Application because this will *not* happen. I'm currently not working on the tooling and don't see how I can invest unpayed time into it until end of Q1 because I'll have to earn money in my day job. So if nooneelse steps up or I can find some excuse to work on it you'll be stuck with what you've got with 4.0 which is useable but by far not production quality.
