Re: [rap-dev] Change of Plans in Riena...

[Ralf Sternberg <rsternberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rienners,

great news indeed!

We'd also like to keep up the good cooperation between RAP and Riena and
created this bug to track progress:

  Bug 324443 - Support Riena RAP migration
  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=324443

I've seen that you listed a couple of issues on this wiki page:
  http://wiki.eclipse.org/Riena_on_RAP

Please don't hesitate to open bugs for those issues that you need help
for and set those bugs as dependencies to the one above.

Best regards, Ralf
