Hi list! I have now updated the RFC proposal<http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/UDIG/Next+generation+resource+persistence+in+uDig> to reflect my posts, IRC chats and comments from the list, and I think it is good enough to be voted upon by the PMC and committers. So far, I have received positive feedback from Andrea (moodiva), Jody and Jesse.
Since this RFC propose major (and overdue) changes to how uDig persist model resources, all uDig projects from version 1.2.2 and backwards will be broken. To remedy this, an uDig project import method is proposed, allowing old projects to be (automatically) converted and imported into the new persistence framework. *Be aware that if the RFC is approved, all community plug-ins will be affected because*: - uDig model will be refactored to *eu.udig.* *which breaks any existing dependencies on model objects - Plug-ins depending on non-standard EMF behavior of current models will be broken after the change As a result, all maintainers of community plug-ins are encouraged to read this RFC and give their feedback (and vote, even if they are not a PMC member or committer). This will help the PMC to make the best possible decision.
