Hey Sravan,
Thank you for sharing the reasoning behind this decision. I understand that when moving the eclipse SDK to new organizations that you have full control over, it reduces noise and gives more flexibility
to the administrators.
From a contributor's perspective, having fewer organizations can improve discovery of these repositories. For example, If I could search all repositories in one central place, it would be more convenient.
Considering that eclipse is a well-known brand, its repositories would be more easily recognized for newcomers as well as for search engine. These are just my 2 cents.
Thanks,
Jinbo

Hi Jinbo,
Eclipse sdk uses more than 25 repositories. We wanted to greater control over our repositories. For this we created 4 organisations(1 per project used by eclipse sdk) and moving the repositories to respective organizations.
Thanks

Hi Manoj, thanks for the migration work.
A stupid question, why was it moved to
eclipse-jdt instead of eclipse org (https://github.com/eclipse)?
Thanks,
