Re: [modeling-pmc] Epsilon GMT component

Rich,

I also think this is a good opportunity to create a new CVS module that is properly within the modeling project's CVS structure where all the other projects reside. So likely we'd want a org.eclipse.gmt parent with a module for each project/component in GMT that's being reviewed and migrated...

Right, so you'll just need to submit piggyback CQs through the portal.

Great.

I think org.eclipse.epsilon.* is fine.

And download zips/jars.

You may want to leverage the query approach used by GMF (and now most of
modeling, afaik)
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/gmf/project-info/ipquery.php  That is, until
the official method is available:

This is a complicated issue, so copying Janet for counsel. :)
