Hi,
Remi Schnekenburger offered to take over and be the maintainer of the
modeling package.
Thank you very much Remi (and EclipsSource!), I hope you'll enjoy this
as much as I did!
I'll be assisting him for the transition. As part of this and in order
to lower the maintenance effort it has been decided to decommission the
modeling discovery and instead rely on the Marketplace client. I would
advise any modeling project to create a Marketplace entry if they don't
already provide one.
If there is no objection, I'd like to start the election process soon so
that Remi has the ability to work, as a commiter in the EPP project.
Cheers,
Cédric

Hi folks,
I have been maintaining the Eclipse Modeling package for quite a few
years now, I stepped up after Borland stopped leading this initiative
(circa 2010 if I’m not mistaken). I started by stripping it down to
make it smaller and less of a mastodon, extended it with mechanisms to
easily discover modeling technologies and then helped get new projects
on board and hunting integration issues version after version. This
was also my pretext to interact with many in the community and I liked
that.
Since then the way Eclipse technologies are consumed shifted a bit and
users are now relying much more on the marketplace and are installing
technologies through this medium. In my opinion, there is still value
in providing a prebuilt package and this value comes from the constant
testing, analyzing, and nagging of projects to bring improvements
across the board and ship it as a whole. Pierre-Charles has done a
tremendous work in doing exactly this and providing high-quality
builds of OD Community Edition and as it’s 100% EPL we’ve seen more
and more adopters starting from this package instead of the Eclipse
Modeling one. Simultaneously my ability to do those effort for the
Modeling package has been reduced in the last few years to the point
that I now feel like I’m chasing the milestones. It doesn’t make a lot
of sense for Obeo to sponsor this activity anymore and I plan to step
down as the maintainer of this package.
My plan is to make sure the Oxygen maintenance releases are happening,
and assist whoever wants to take care of this package. I am not
planning to maintain the package for the Photon stream, if you feel
like you’d like to do that, just reach out to me and we’ll organize a
transition.
Cheers,
Cédric
