Re: [stp-pmc] Distributed OSGi Tools

Hi David,
I think I can speak for the PMC in general when I say that contributions
that build on our frameworks are a good thing and welcomed.

It's even better if the frameworks are improved as part of the process.

Because the size of the code is small, coming in under the guidelines
for IP scrutiny, it's my opinion that you, as a committer, have the right
to check the code in, it being an exemplar of XEF use.

This would work for me, but I think we should consider it a
temporary arrangement. Perhaps the XEF part of the policy-editor
needs also to move out from org.eclipse.stp.policy and instead
have it's own org.eclipse.stp.xef?  Then XEF and this DOSGI
configuration editor exemplar could reside in the same trunk,
which kind of makes sense to me.

Any other comments?
