I'd like to gather feedback from WTP committers, contributors and general
audience about this issue:

 

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=295544

 

The proposal is to show Project Facets properties page globally (for any
project type). If the project is not faceted, there would be a short
description along with a button to convert the project. How smart is the
conversion is a separate topic. At the bare minimum, the project would
become faceted, but no facets would be installed. The user can then install
them. 

 

I'd like to hear what people think of this approach. I am not a big fan of
global contributions, but in this case an argument could be made that this
is appropriate. It is certainly far more discoverable than a covert action
hidden in the context menu.

 

Thoughts? If anyone wants to read a user rant as a way to get into a proper
mood for the holidays, do read the above bug.
