I think what is considered part of current (eclipse 3) "platform" is partly determined by the history of eclipse. Will we just take the historic platform components and rework them as e4?
The e4 discussion up to now has been very much focused on the presentation layer (SWT/JFace/Workbench). I'd like to see a clear picture of what is part of e4 and what the layers are. What about compare, text, jobs, update, resources, debug, team? Are those part of e4? What will be the impact of e4 on those components? For example, why is CVS and Ant part of the (current) platform but not EMF? EMF seems more fundamental and general than say, CVS.
