Two notes already, from quick readers :) 

1) Yes, this move will preserve all history of files (since we are not 
renaming the modules, just changing their parent directories). 

2) This probably will invalidate patches attached to bugzillas, especially 
"workspace patches". Perhaps "project patches" would be ok? 
Perhaps the effect or recovery for patches should be further investigated. 
Or ... we may just have to bite the bullet. But, if anyone has any patches 

that are important or "near ready", perhaps we should get those in? 

Thanks quick readers.

Subject
[wtp-dev] Need to restructure our CVS Directories







http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_CVS_Restructuring 

See the above document for the reasons why ... or, the reasons why I think 
it is necessary and desirable. 

Initially I was thinking we'd do this "after the next milestone", but some 
I have talked to said "the sooner the better". Which, as far as I know, 
might be as early as after the next I-build! 

So, please take a few minutes to understand the issues, and complain if 
that seems too disruptive too early. 

The main disruption for committers is that you will have to create a new 
workspace ... and re-checkout freshly any projects you have in your 
workspace! 
Hence, any code that "you have almost ready to check in" should be checked 
in ... even if not quite released for a build this week. 

Additionally, any adopters that literally build WTP will have to adjust as 
well. 

Also, I know there are some teams (such as VE) that have "team project 
sets" that will have to be updated to pull from the new repository 
locations. 

Not to mention, our map files and perhaps our build will have to be 
modified to find the code. I would not be surprised if we don't have good 
builds for a few days while issues are sorted out. 

So, it's no small chore. 

Comments welcome.
