Description Mickael Istria CLA 2015-12-10 02:27:25 EST 
Smart Import ( https://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/UI/Smart_Import ) is an alternative wizard and workflow to simplify the import story. It's currently available in the e4.ui snapshot repository and it's being moved into Platform, with the goal of having it into Neon and to make it the recommended import entry-points for most projects.
JSDT, m2e, Thym, EGit already contain integrations with this framework, that they currently ship as different incubating features in their update-sites.
In JBoss Tools, we have some additional extensions for this import strategy that are focusing on JEE projects. In case a project wasn't detected as being Eclipse, Maven or other "structured" project, those extension look for traditional JEE descriptor files and will configure a given folder as a JEE project in Eclipse according to their content.
Those extension are currently here https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-playground/tree/master/plugins/org.jboss.tools.playground.easymport.jee and since they depend only on JEE Tools, I would like to move them to the WTP Incubator.
Is WTP Incubator the right place for that?
