As you vote consider both the perspective of the end user as well as the perspective of a plugin developer. Despite Ted's comment, having a different term for the ui from the one that's used in the api is unlikely to happen since that would create even more confusion. I would assume that the term that you are voting for will be used in both contexts.
Having said that, consider whether the term will convey an intuitive meaning to someone who has never used wtp/eclipse before. Try using it in a sentence such as "Please select <term>s to install." or "<term> Struts 1.0 depends on <term> Web Module 2.4." - Konstantin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ted Bashor Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2005 2:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [wtp-dev] Please vote: "project feature" name Well it's primary day here in Washington State, and to share that democratic vibe, we're asking you to vote on your favorite class name for use in the "project features" api. If you haven't already, please take a look at the spec http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/development/proposals/Features%20Framewo rk%20Specification.htm as well as https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=94608 and maybe even peruse and run the org.eclipse.wst.common.features.* plugins in in WTP's CVS common component repository. The candidate list is: ProjectAspect ProjectAttribute ProjectCapability ProjectCapacity ProjectCharacteristic ProjectFacet ProjectFacility ProjectFeature ProjectFlavor ProjectQuality ProjectTrait A couple points: 1) this is a vote for the api name for these things, the UI name *could* end up being different. 2) "Feature" and "Capability" are terms already used by the Eclipse platform, so voting for them means that you think the project qualifier is sufficient to avoid confusion. Please send me ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) your three favorites listed in preference order. Your first choice gets 3 votes, the second gets 2, and the last gets 1 vote. Voting is open for the next 24 hours.
