So we now have a subproject policy.
Any thoughts on taking the IBM eclipse tooling contribution as a
subproject? It's independent, has interested people that are
annoying us with patches :) adds value to the project and grows
the community in a technically diverse way, and has a plausible
roadmap.
I would suggest that if we do so, we'd move the current code from
sandbox and add Sachin Patel as a committer for the subproject.
This is a sensitive issue because of there's a person involved, so

I think it is a bit premature to make this a full fledged
subproject. I personally don't use eclipse so I don't know if it
builds, or is what users want.
Maybe we should hear from people who know the space then. I hear
that a few people use Eclipse :)
For now, I think the sandbox is appropriate place to incubate the
code and community. We need to be careful when creating
subprojects, so we don't end up with lots of abandoned codebases.
I think we'd just dump them if work stopped, just like we do with
other code.
I guessing this will happen quickly for the eclipse plugin given
how many eclipse users there are out there and we will be better
off for waiting a bit.
Why?
