[egit-dev] JGit Questions and Build

[Chris Aniszczyk <zx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey a couple questions about JGit as I was able to play with the code a bit today.

I've submitted a patch to do some MANIFEST.MF cleanup:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=291096

I submitted a request to add a feature to JGit which we will need to build JGit on build.eclipse.org

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=291111

When looking at the JGit library, I noticed that there was a "org.eclipse.jgit.awtui" package...

Is that intentional? Do we want to have UI bits in the core JGit library? Should we have a org.eclipse.jgit.core and org.eclipse.jgit.ui split?

Are there packages in JGit that are meant to be "internal" ? What does JGit consider API?

Once I have the feature for JGit, I can setup a releng project.

I volunteer to be the releng person for JGit/EGit to save people the trouble. If people think this is worth committership feel free to nominate me.

Cheers,
