Re: [amalgam-dev] Re: oAW in Amalgam

Ed, Rich,

we've got some things that are rather cross-cutting. Like, e.g. the oAW perspective, slots for menu entries, categories for wizards and so on. It really would be a good idea to have this stuff in a common plug- in.

Markus,

Typically components share the newsgroup of the containing and users are asked prefix subjects headings, for example with [oAW]. After alll, you have things like Xtext, XPand, and MWE spead across multiple projects and there are newsgroups for those projects already too. So I expect you'd
use

  news://news.eclipse.org/eclipse.modeling.amalgam

There is already a real CVS component as well:

It's not clear what you mean by glue code. I imagine most if not all the code is associated directly with Xpand, Xtend, Xtext, and MWE. What else,
specifically, is there that would not logically belong with the former
components?

Hi Rich,

I'd say no proposal is necessary, just a patch applied to Bugzilla (the
usual process).  This way, we can take a look at the extent of what's
being proposed. For now, the only artifact in the Amalgam repo is an EPP
definition for the general Modeling package.  I expect an "oAW"
definition  that would include Xpand/Xtend/MWE/Xtext is the place to
start?

yes, but we do need real a repository where we can
put the "glue" code as well as a newsgroup for support.

Markus


Thanks,
Rich

Markus,

I imagine it would involve just a feature definition for pulling
together a
subset of the things Amalgam itself is already pulling together. I
doubt
it needs to be a separate project. Rich is the lead for the project, so it's best to take direction from him on how to proceed? I wonder what steps need to be taken to ensure that oAW is an Eclipse brand and that
we
don't get flak from the foundation about it...

Hi Ed,

what are the next steps we need to take to get oAW
under Amalgam, as discussed at EclipseCon? Do we need
to write a project proposal?

Thanks,
Markus
