Re: [modeling-pmc] Post-Oxygen versions of the Modeling Package
Hi Maximilian, good to hear! I'll be at ECE (including the special Modeling monday) so we can discuss then, I can also make myself available for a video call if needed.

Cheers,

Cédric

Hi Cedric,

we think this package is important to the EMF community and therefore decided to keep it alive by sponsoring it. We would like to discuss the details at EclipseCon Europe if possible. Are you coming to ECE this year?

Cheers,
Maximilian

Hi Maximilian,

thanks for reaching back and launching this initiative within EclipseSource!

Having multiple maintainers could make things easier so if anybody feel like getting involved, do not hesitate!

Hi Cedric,

first of all: thank you for your service and dedication for providing this package for all those years!
I will bring this topic up at EclipseSource and we will discuss if we see a chance to sponsor an activity to keep this package alive after Oxygen. I will get back to you by Friday Sept 22nd when more of us are back from summer vacation.

Cheers,
Maximilian

Hi folks,

I have been maintaining the Eclipse Modeling package for quite a few years now, I stepped up after Borland stopped leading this initiative (circa 2010 if I’m not mistaken). I started by stripping it down to make it smaller and less of a mastodon, extended it with mechanisms to easily discover modeling technologies and then helped get new projects on board and hunting integration issues version after version. This was also my pretext to interact with many in the community and I liked that.

Since then the way Eclipse technologies are consumed shifted a bit and users are now relying much more on the marketplace and are installing technologies through this medium. In my opinion, there is still value in providing a prebuilt package and this value comes from the constant testing, analyzing, and nagging of projects to bring improvements across the board and ship it as a whole. Pierre-Charles has done a tremendous work in doing exactly this and providing high-quality builds of OD Community Edition and as it’s 100% EPL we’ve seen more and more adopters starting from this package instead of the Eclipse Modeling one. Simultaneously my ability to do those effort for the Modeling package has been reduced in the last few years to the point that I now feel like I’m chasing the milestones. It doesn’t make a lot of sense for Obeo to sponsor this activity anymore and I plan to step down as the maintainer of this package.

My plan is to make sure the Oxygen maintenance releases are happening, and assist whoever wants to take care of this package. I am not planning to maintain the package for the Photon stream, if you feel like you’d like to do that, just reach out to me and we’ll organize a transition.

Cheers,

Cédric
