[gef-dev] GEF Plug-in reorganization

[Anthony Hunter <anthonyh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Team,

Advance warning I will be reorganizing the GEF plug-ins and features during
July.

The hierarchy will match that of other tools, modeling and technology
projects:

org.eclipse.gef/doc
                        org.eclipse.draw2d.doc.isv
                        org.eclipse.gef.doc.isv
org.eclipse.gef/examples
                        org.eclipse.gef.examples.flow
                        org.eclipse.gef.examples.logic
                        [...]
org.eclipse.gef/features
                        org.eclipse.gef-feature
                        org.eclipse.gef.examples-feature
                        [...]
org.eclipse.gef/plugins
                        org.eclipse.draw2d
                        org.eclipse.gef
org.eclipse.gef/releng
                        org.eclipse.gef.releng
org.eclipse.gef/tests
                        org.eclipse.draw2d.test
                        org.eclipse.gef.test

This will accomplish several things:

1) Allow us to add new things to CVS without asking the webmaster
(currently we need permission to add to the root of tools).
2) All of GEF will under one CVS module "org.eclipse.gef".
3) We can clean up the confusing two sets of features in CVS (xxx and
xxx-feature, I will archive the old xxx-feature).
4) We can fix the map file so you can "import map file" (the feature and
plugin have the same name, feature should be xxx-feature).
5) allow us to move the GEF build tools from an internal IBM server to
eclipse.org under releng (see (1)).

I will do file moves on dev.eclipse.org so that we do not loose any
history.

Let me know if you have any concerns.

Cheers...
Anthony
