Hi David,

Have I understood correctly that the plan is to do away with the top level 
wst and jst designations in CVS and group by component? (Where XML and XSD 
tools will now be grouped in one component instead of separate xml and xsd 
components.)

One problem with mass refactoring like this in CVS is all the revision 
history will be lost. Perhaps this refactoring presents a good time to 
consider switching from CVS to SVN. (SVN maintains revision history even 
when files and directories are moved.)

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.
