Yay!
It took a while, but I am really happy that the e4 project has been
provisioned today. The new project appears in Bugzilla, CVS, as a web page,
and we have a new mailing list.
Bugzilla and web page are easy, we can just start using (or writing pages
for) those.
For the mailing list, I need your help, and for CVS, your feedback.
MAILING LIST:
Please subscribe to the new mailing list, [EMAIL PROTECTED], here:
https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/e4-dev
The Eclipse Foundation will *not* copy the current mailing list
subscribers to the new mailing list, so please subscribe to the new list
now. I would propose that we switch over to the new list soon, but not
immediately, so that everyone has had a chance to subscribe to the new one
before we start using it. Time for the switch TBD, I would suggest in one
week. Thoughts?
CVS:
The e4 project has one directory in CVS: /cvsroot/eclipse/e4
I have created subdirectories as follows:
org.eclipse.e4.resources
bundles
doc
examples
tests
org.eclipse.e4.resources.releng
maps
org.eclipse.e4.ui
bundles
doc
examples
tests
org.eclipse.e4.ui.releng
maps
The releng projects should contain build-related information such as map
files and property files for the builder, and could contain .psf files. For
the work area directories, I used fully qualified names so that they end up
adjacent to the releng projects. The actual plugins will go into the
bundles/doc/examples/tests subdirectories. We are following a common
pattern here (and I went with "bundles" and not "plugins" because that
makes bundles appear first).
Does this make sense? Please don't start using CVS right away until I've
heard +1s or -1s, otherwise it'll be hard to change the current structure.
For the UI pieces, I think we won't be able to move code this week anyway.
Also, it seems to me that we'll want more work areas from the start, "core"
for shared non-UI things, "swt" for the SWT work, and "jdt" for the
Java-ActionScript cross-compiler. I can create directories for those too
once we have agreement on the directory structure. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks
