At present 'Modeling' is not evident as a further level of umbrella

'Modeling' will suddenly appear
Suddenly appear where?
No idea. Just experience-based intuition as to where a gotcha is hiding.
No doubt there will be some glitches...
Every project needs a parent. Ok we dislike the current parents, but
if we move from e.g. MDT to Modeling it is a change and Modeling is
likely to show up somewhere.
Perhaps.
Moving to Eclipse as the totally flat parent might be better;
That's not an option in terms of project nesting. Modeling projects
must be nested under the top level modeling project.
this is increasingly what is happening in many naming contexts.
Yes, in terms of qualified namespaces, we've not generally been
including the umbrella project in the qualification. Of course no one
is proposing that any projects must change their namespaces.
However this needs to be part of an Eclipse-wide activity since we
would then need to share Foundation rather than Modeling
infrastructure. Probably a good idea, I might be able to find GIT or
Subversive or GEF without searching three possible container projects.
I can only focus on making it easier to find modeling technologies, not
solving the Eclipse-wide website problem of "how do I find an
interesting technology/solution for my problem."
So I conclude that there is no compelling reason to keep the umbrella
projects, but there is a concern about that change being
potentially/possibly disruptive. I will work with Wayne to minimize and
mitigate any problems that might arise.
Regards
Ed Willink
