Tooling is one of our major initiatives to "knock the corners off".
How do you integrate an eclipse plug in directly in Geroniomo? It's
for Eclipse, isn't it?
I think it just makes sense to have a subproject on tooling, and
start producing releases independently... I agree that Eclipse is
too small by itself (as I noted in a previous email), but general
tool isn't, and the eclipse plug in is an excellent start....

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 if anyone has any issues that need to be discussed
confidentially, please feel free to post to

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. 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 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.
I agree. I think that this is a bit premature to make this a full
fledged subproject. This should start in the sandbox with the idea
that it be integrated directly into Geronimo.

Alan
