I also agree to restructure the project. We can open a mother bug and create children for what needs to be done. I also commit time to work on this.

For Eclipse users and developers of Eclipse 4 applications it is not understandable why the tooling needs to be installed separately from a different update site. After the move it would be more consistent to our users.

Hi,

I think the main issue people have with the e4 tools is that they cannot install from directly from the update site of the Eclipse release. I asked in the cross mailing list how the e4 tools can be part of the Mars update site.

Wayne explained that we would have to move the e4 tools to a new project. Here is his explanation how to do it:
----------------------------

To move the code out of the project, you need to do a restructuring review. Restructuring reviews are relatively simple affairs that require you describe (as concisely as possible) what needs to to change and why.

To restructure by moving, you need a project to move the code into.

This could be an existing project (e.g. PDT), or one that we create. If a new project is required, then we need to do a proposal followed by a creation review. We can combine the creation review with the restructuring review.

There's more here:

HTH,

Wayne

------------------

If the active e4 committers and our users agree, I personally think we should go ahead and create this structuring review. 

How do people think about this?  Should we go ahead with this restructuring review? 

Best regards, Lars

P.S.  I would be interesting to work on the restructuring review.
