Re: [dsdp-ercp-dev] Re: New structure proposal for eRCP CVS

[Danail Nachev <d.nachev@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think eSWT projects are the main factor for the confusion. They
represents 50% of the projects and all placed on one level. Refactoring
them in a subfolder will greatly enhance the newcomer experience.
Considering that eSWT can be used standalone, I think we agree that eSWT
should have separate folder.

I think that it will more helpful if there is a document or a page in
the wiki, which explains the architecture and what what is in the CVS -
something, which will guide a newcomer (structure, code style, bug
reporting, etc.). Even the plugins are refactored in separate folders,
it is still hard to get for example what is the difference between
eworkbench, sworkbench and ui.workbench and what is their relation.

I'm however in favor of moving examples in separate folder, because they
aren't worked on constantly. So, it seems natural to put them aside:)
