I would like to note that UML2 Tools is not terminated!!
Not yet anyway.
But very soon.

The UML2 Tools project is moved into GMF Tooling as a subproject.
That's not what the review requested.
Yes.

The review document states that "The project is a subproject of the to-be-terminated MDT project. Its contents will be migrated as samples for the GMF project."

Having said that, I'm more inclined to do whatever the right thing is (in contrast to following the letter of the review document).
This is exactly what I'm expecting to happen.  They're simply samples not a useable tooling.  So the project is to be terminate and the code is to be migrated as a GMF Tools sample.

Focus of the UML2 Tools project is now:
- demonstrate what can be generated with GMF Tooling 3.0 for the UML2 Metamodels of all UML2 diagram types.
- test advanced features from Papyrus, that are backported to GMF Tooling.
- validate new GMF Tooling features before they are used in Papyrus and other projects using GMF Tooling.

People working on generating UML2 like diagram editors for UML2 like metamodels are welcome to contribute to the GMF Tooling subproject UML2 Tools" and become committers.
Do you really mean subproject, or is the UML2 Tools code more appropriate as example code within GMF Tooling? Do you, for example, anticipate that the two code bases will have different sets of committers? Is there value in maintaining a separate web presence for two separate projects? Will there be separate builds? Or is it just two separate Git repositories owned by the one (GMF Tooling) project?
I don't see that it needs to be two separate repositories.

If the UML2 Tools code is really just an aspect of the GMF Tooling code, then I recommend that we stick with the letter of the review and go ahead with just moving the code from UML2 Tools into GMF Tooling, and retire the UML2 Tools project.
Yes, please do.

People looking for full featured UML2 Tooling should look at Papyrus.
This seems to reinforce my opinion that UML2 Tools code is just an aspect/part of GMF Tooling and should not be a project in its own right.
Exactly.

I CC the component leads, if they want to add details.

Regards,
Philipp

Some of the projects on this list are scheduled for termination (UML2
Tools and UMLX) and so will be taken care of naturally.
