Re: [modeling-pmc] Diff/Merge project: namespace

[Ed Merks <ed.merks@xxxxxxxxx>]

Wayne,

I don't have a strong opinion.  Certainly we've been moving away from projects having container projects as part of their namespace.  That being said, if the "e" in "edm" stands for "emf", org.eclipse.emf.diffmerge seems far more descriptive and meaningful.  Perhaps others in the PMC have an opinion to express.

Regards,
Ed

My preference is org.eclipse.edm.  But I don't really get a vote :-)

We tend to use a "flat" namespace to make things easier should the project decide to move at some point in the future.

Dear mentors,

 

The creation review of the Diff/Merge project will be complete on June 6^th, which means that the initial contribution will be made soon. That’s good news!

 

I have a question regarding the namespace that should be used for the code. Past projects under EMF/EMFT tended to be named org.eclipse.emf.<projectname>, but I also found projects named org.eclipse.<projectname>, like org.eclipse.egf.

 

Is there a particular rule I should follow for the Diff/Merge project, i.e., should I select one of the following namespaces ?

 

org.eclipse.emf.diffmerge

org.eclipse.emf.edm

org.eclipse.edm

org.eclipse.emfdiffmerge

 

Thanks!

 

Cheers

Olivier
