[mylyn-docs-dev] Move Vex to Mylyn Docs

[Florian Thienel <florian@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi WTP Incubator and Mylyn Docs developers,

Some month ago there was a proposal to move Vex out of the WTP incubator 
into the Mylyn Docs project: https://bugs.eclipse.org/328390

The Visual Editor for XML (Vex) is an WYSIWYM(ean) editor for XML 
documents, i.e. text documents plus some semantics. Because the main 
purpose of Vex is not to edit configuration files or deployment 
descriptors etc. or not to edit web pages (although you could use XHTML 
as your underlying schema) but to edit documentation, e.g. DITA and 
DocBook files. So we thought Vex would much better fit into the Mylyn 
Docs project than in the Web Tools Platform.

You can find more information about Vex in the wiki: 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Vex

Since all the restructuring and the Indigo release is done, we would 
start the move with a little introduction of the project and the 
committers. There are currently four:
- David Carver http://intellectualcramps.wordpress.com
- Igor Campista http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dir/+/Lino+campista/+/
- Holger Voormann http://eclipsehowl.wordpress.com
- and me Florian Thienel
which are working only in their free time (unfortunately, no company 
involved yet). Vex is still in incubation and we are still working on 
some of the basic features.

So far so good: we suggest to move Vex from o.e.wst.xml.vex(.*) to 
o.e.mylyn.vex(.*). The code should go from 
<http://git.eclipse.org/c/webtools/org.eclipse.webtools.incubator.git/> 
to http://git.eclipse.org/c/mylyn/org.eclipse.mylyn.docs.git/, but there 
needs also some restructuring done to match the directory structure of 
Mylyn.

What do you think?

Best Regards,

Florian
