Sorry I am late joining this e-mail thread; just coming back from vacation.
I agree creating a new marketplace for Eclipse 4.0 is creating to much
of a line. In fact I would hesitate to create a special category for
the same reason. Over time I would hope that ALL things listed on
Marketplace will support Eclipse 4.x.
I would suggest we use the version field that Konstantin mentions and a
tag. Unfortunately the version field is a text field so it doesn't
allow us to do a lot of filtering. The tags will allow end users to do
filtering.
The downside to this approach is that the end-user needs to know to
search for the Eclipse 4.0 tag. I realize time is short but to address
Kai's initial idea of making it easy to find certain Eclipse 4.0 tools
and demos there are two options I would suggest:
1) Someone creates an Eclipse 4.0 Starter Wizard using the P2 Discovery
UI. This would be a wizard that lists interesting tools and demos.
Similar to what the Subversive or Mylyn project does.
2) If the Eclipse 4.0 contains the MPC, someone could change the client
string in the api to indicate that the requestor is the Eclipse 4.0
client. We could add logic to the Marketplace Server to highlight
solution listings with the Eclipse 4.0 tag.
Be happy to work with anyone that wants to take the next steps on this.

FYI... Marketplace listings have a version field for specifying
compatibility with the major "eclipse version". It could be used in
this case as well rather than utilizing a tag.
There is a bug open to pre-filter in the marketplace client based on
the version of the requester...

Actually, that's what I meant. I just find the market place client
very convenient.

I would hesitate to create a distinct e4 marketplace as it appears to
draw too dark a line between things. an e4 tag or category in the
normal eclipse marketplace would be great imho.

[e4-dev] e4 Market Place
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi All,
I was just thinking about the idea of having kind of e4 market place
to make it easier for beginners to get started with the Eclipse 4.0
SDK. I was thinking about:
- tooling (Tom's model editor, wizards, etc.)
- demos, examples, best practices
I actually like the Helios market place client a lot.
What do you think?
Kai
