RE: Is there a place for Eclipse plugins in Apache/Jakarta land?

2003-06-13 Thread Danny Angus
Jim,

You say, 

 It would seem to me that IDE plugins should be at sourceforge.net or
 java.net or the like instead of at Jakarta.

snip

 they just don't seem like the kind of thing that the Jakarta community 
 should be focusing on as Jakarta projects.

I have to ask you why, because it seems to me that if this software is developed by a 
project's comitters as part of or in support of their project and licenced under the 
ASFL it should be here, and its IPR should continue to be owned by the ASF. I would 
think that it would have to be fairly unpopular, neglected, or badly off-topic before 
we considered evicting it.
You wouldn't consider that a commercial company should only rely on others produce 
tools to support their core products, why should Jakarta not do the same thing?

d.






  Certainly Velocity, Maven,
 Struts, etc. should point people to them, but they just don't 
 seem like the
 kind of thing that the Jakarta community should be focusing on as 
 Jakarta
 projects.  (Of course it does make perfect sense for Jakarta people to be
 involved on those projects, though.)


Is there a place for Eclipse plugins in Apache/Jakarta land?

2003-06-12 Thread Vincent Massol
Hi,

As part of Cactus, we have developed 2 Eclipse plugins. One of them is a
generic webapp plugin. We would like to extract this from the Cactus CVS
and let others benefit from it. 

However, I'm not sure where we should put this new project. 

Obviously one choice is to put it on SourceForge. Before doing this, I
wanted to let us decide first if we wanted to have a place in Apache
land where we would put such IDE plugins.

I think more and more the focus in java land is on usability. Be it
Tomcat, Avalon, Maven, etc, they will all have user-oriented front ends
to increase user productivity. One obvious place is within their own
repository. The real question is about shared plugins, like the webapp
one, which would benefit Tomcat users as well as Cactus ones.

Any idea?

Note: There's no hurry. Just testing the water... :-)

Thank you
-Vincent

Have you considered java.net?

As you are an established member of this community, if there is a set of 
others who are also interested in participating, I certainly don't see 
why this code couldn't remain here.  Creating a new cvs tree is easy to 
do, all it requires is PMC approval.

You might also want to consider contributing this to Eclipse.

Since Eclipse folks have a directory of Eclipse Plugins already,
that is where I would put it.  That is where Eclipse developers
will look for it.  They will not necessarily be using Tomcat or
Cactus, for instance.

AFAIK, Eclipse website doesn't really host plugin projects. E.g. an
Eclipse plugin for WebObjects, developed inside the ObjectStyle community
( http://objectstyle.org/woproject/ ), is present on Eclipse website at

  http://www.eclipse.org/community/plugins.html

But other than that has no affiliation with Eclipse. So pointing to
Eclipse doesn't solve Vincent's problem. Looks like he is really looking
for a place to develop a community around the plugin project. IMO this is
a good standalone project idea. So it is a choice between Apache and
SourceForge I guess.

oo oo oo oo, or java.net

Actually, at first glance it seems to be quite a bit slicker than 
SourceForge at least (not that being slicker than SF in its current 
state is terribly difficult).

2003-06-12 Thread Brett Porter
Perhaps there should be a Jakarta-IDE project of some description that 
contains plugins for any number of IDEs (Netbeans, Eclipse, IntelliJ) 
that relate to Jakarta projects.

This could be a home for:
* Velocity: http://sourceforge.net/projects/veloedit/
* Maven IDE: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mevenide/
* the Struts IDE plugins
And I've seen the cactus on already listed here:
http://eclipse-plugins.2y.net/eclipse/plugins.jsp
My 2c.

Cheers,
