Hi
Ed Merks has provided some very useful information.
"Note that the latest EMF 2.19 release has a new improved
high-quality JET editor that far exceeds the
functionality of the previous JET editor:
https://ed-merks.blogspot.com/2019/08/and-now-for-something-completely.html
So folks should just give that a try.
...
I thought JET2 was archived long long ago..."

Ed,
The UML dependency was for the uuid tag (I think) which generated
a valid unique id suitable for UML use. You need it (or at least
you used to) if you wanted to generate some persisted EMF objects.
JET2 was certainly released as part of the Rational IDE suite, but
it vary well may have not survived the push into open source. I
was part of that original group, but now use my own tooling that I
wrote and open-sourced in order to get away from the Eclipse
dependency.

Hi Christian
Since the original committers have probably moved on to other
things ....
A version of JET is a critical component of EMF and while the
templates evolve, the JET variant in org.eclipse.emf.codegen.jet
is very stable.
IIRC one intent of Jet2 was to provide a nice editor to make the
<% %> intelligible. I think there was something that
worked.
Attempting to install the R201102081240/m2t-jet-Update-1.1.1.zip
fails through a very strong determination to find UML2 4.0.0
that was superseded 4 years ago by by 5.0.0 ... See
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=358574 raised in
2011, worked on in 2014 but never RESOLVED.
Commits to master in 2015, Update UML2 to 5.0.0 (current) and
suggest that a Maven build was working, but there appears to be
no corresponding download. (See
https://git.eclipse.org/c/m2t/org.eclipse.jet.git/log/)
Note that the above that comes from the Jet2 projects downloads
page is dated after the not-reviewed 2.0.0 release, so possibly
no Jet2 was ever released. The GIT contents do not seem to have
2.0 content.
So I'm afraid the answer is abandoned rather than stable.
(I'm really puzzled by the UML dependency. I suspect it could be
changed / removed quite easily.)
Since the editor does not appear to use Xtext, it might be
easier to redevelop than resurrect.
That said, there is a good chance that some enthusiast with
Tycho/Maven skills could produce a new build in a day or two. It
is possible that a local Tycho build just 'works'.

Hi,
while hitting some limitations with the Jet libraries that
come along
with EMF, I found the Jet2 project. From the commit history it
seems
either rock stable or abandoned.
Therefore I would like to ask for the status of the project.
Is it
still maintained?
thanks
Christian
