Re: [eclipse.org-planning-council] Request for Ecore Tools Inclusion Exc

[Brian Payton <bpayton@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ed,

+1

Thanks for bringing the Ecore Tools
project to my attention.  I've been looking for this kind of thing
for a long time.

There appears to be a problem on the
Eclipse Download page for EMFT.  On the Eclipse Downloads page, if
you hover over the Eclipse Model Framework Technology link, it says
   http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emft/downloads/
But if you click the link, it takes
you to
   http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/downloads/?

That is, "emf" rather than
"emft".  This makes it hard to get to the Ecore Tools download
page.  Perhaps there is a ?project=xxx tag that is missing?

By the way, I'm using Firefox 3.6, which
might or might not be a factor.

Regards,
Brian
