RE: [mylar-dev] Support question

["Mik Kersten" <beatmik@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Wim,

Yes, this is definitely the place to be asking such questions.  Great to
hear that you plan on building on Mylar.  Just a quick word of caution: we
will be doing some API renaming and cleanup up until mid next week, so you
may want to delay some of your further investigation until that's done.

Regarding versions, yes, we will continue supporting both the Eclipse 3.2
and 3.3 streams, at least until the final release of Eclipse 3.3.  Note that
we only merge changes back to 3.2 the week of each release.

Regarding the source builds, we have been documenting the suggested
workspace setup here: 

http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylar_Integrator_Reference#Workspace_Setup


However, for the 1.0 release we need to re-think this.  So my question to
you, and other integrators, is how you would like to be consuming the
sources.  I think that we have three options:
1) Make them available with the release, as Eclipse does.  A bit of bloat in
the site zip, but these can be an optional feature on the update site.
2) Make a separate download available with each release (as we do now, but
don't make it easy enough to find).
3) Make it easier and more clear how to check out a tagged release.

(1) seems like a good idea, and I like (3) because working against a
checked-out version will encourage integrators to submit patches.
