So, why would we not do the correct thing, then? Structure and
process are very important at Eclipse. I would like to hear Bjorn's
view on this.
It seems to me that the effort required to become a TLP will be the
same as to move to RT, mostly the kind of review required would be
different (project promotion instead of project move).
If we're to move, I would rather see the 3rd-party code become more
isolated from the Eclipse-developed code with its own PMC. A TLP is
well positioned to leave no confusion about third-party code being
managed by some project.
Or, maybe the Technology project is a good home after all, with all of
the "incubation" work that is also in an IP grey area of a different
shade?
Cheers,
Christian

You are absolutely right from a structure and process point of
view. The motivation for the move is more of a positioning
statement. People looking to get components for use in building
their application/runtime seem to get a little confused when they
find out that Orbit is a Tools project. The suggested move would
not change anything in how the project itself operates. It would
just position it differently.

Hi, Jeff,
Does Orbit really fit in *any* project? The processes in this
project are markedly different from all others. The whole point of
Orbit is that it doesn't contain code developed under the Eclipse
banner. If we're looking for a new home, I wonder whether it
doesn't make more sense to let Orbit fit outside of the top-level
project structure, or perhaps to be a TLP unto itself.
Is that a move that we can consider?
Cheers,
Christian

Tools has always been a bit of a strange place for Orbit IMHO. It
was either that or Technology at the time. I don't really recall
why the decision was made but there you go. Now however we do
have an attractive home... RT. The topic of moving Orbit to RT
came up the other day and I took the todo to poll the Orbit
community to see if there were opinions either way. This is just
to test the water and see what people think. Assuming there are
some positive signs, we can have a real vote. The current and
future PMCs of course have to agree to but that should not be an
issue.
