In my opinion, it is nearly always helpful to have your dependencies 
"encapsulated" as much as is possible (or, practical) but I realize there 
are limits where the costs don't out weight the benefits.

This is true in one way -- the un-categorized view -- but remember that 
not everything needs to appear in a category (hence, there is usually not 
extra granularity in p2 catalog).  Not sure which you meant, so just 
thought I would (try) to clarify. But, yes, modularity is good. :) 

Thanks,

Hi
Or should we be restructuring to have multiple better disciplined 
contributions?
+1 MiniEMF, MiniGEF, MiniOCL, MiniMWE2  - no XText dependencies
+3 FullEMF, FullGEF, FullOCL, FullMWE2 - with XText dependencies
(MWE2 does this already; MWE2-runtime, MWE2-lang)
We almost certainly have features with the required granularity, so the 
multiple contributions should be just a matter of different feature 
selections from a single build repo. However the extra modularity would 
show in the P2 catalog. Perhaps that would be an improvement too.

Hi
OCL too cannot be enabled until Xtext is enabled.
I feel that this attempt to bootstrap from nothing is going to make for 
some very tight late coordination.
Can we have the Neon contributions available as in previous years?
If enabled="false" is required to enforce announced participation, surely 
it would be better to apply it just after M2 to all projects that have 
made no SimRel commit since Neon?

Hi all, 

I have just re-enabled the GEF repository for Oxygen and made available 
the Neon release version of GEF-legacy (Draw2d/GEF (MVC) 3.x, Zest 1.x) to 
enable downstream projects that depend on it. The GEF (formerly known as 
GEF4) contribution to M1 is already prepared as well, but I had to disable 
it for now because it depends on downstream projects (namely e(fx)clipse 
and Xtext) that have not updated their contributions yet. GEF will thus 
not be available today but on Wednesday.

Regards,
Alexander
