HOWTO: Component Provisioning
The process for getting from ‘great idea’ to ‘component in an eclipse.org project’ is an evolving one. In its tireless approach to making process simpler, the EMO will now accept (as of Oct 20, per Ecore Tools, Emfatic, and Servus) a wiki doc proposal instead of a zip with HTML files, css & images.
As EMFT becomes a very popular place for new components to be planted and to blossom, others may want to copy our model and provide similar services within their projects. Other open-source contributors may want to propose components to be added to other projects, and wonder, how in Bjorn’s name do I do so?
So… as a service to others, here’s some references on how to navigate the treacherous waters. Note that with all Eclipse.org processes, docs are subject to change without prior notice. UPDATE: Want prior notice? Check this out.
