Re: [dsdp-mtj-dev] Next MTJ Call: 21/July/2008 - meeting minutes

Eric,

I understand your thinking on this... but I still have some concerns 
about how this is going to work out.  My ultimate goal is to retire 
EclipseME when MTJ is ready to replace it.  For those that are using the 
preprocessor support, MTJ will not be ready... which stretches the 
lifetime of EclipseME and therefore my necessary commitment to that 
project.  Time spent on EclipseME is time not spent on MTJ... And given 
how little time I'm finding these days that could be significant.

I think splitting out the preprocessor is something we should seriously 
consider.  The other alternative is to find a way to get this through 
legal approval...

Did anyone ever talk to the OSGi guys about the ability to use a jar 
file in those hooks?  Is that something that I should ask them about?

Thanks,
Craig
