[technology-pmc] RE: Sapphire draft proposal
|
I actually don't have any comments on the proposal itself. As far as I am
concerned, it can go live with the edits proposed by Gunnar on the PMC
thread.
I do have some worries, but ones which will have to be solved by the project
once it's underway.
I have concerns about introducing another modeling framework. Personally, I
am suspicious of the explanation that EMF is too general or too hard to
learn. If you don't like EMF, wrap it with a DSL via Xtext. That certainly
seems like a cheaper and more consistent solution than writing and
*maintaining* a whole modeling framework.
We also seem to be growing a plethora of projects focused on simplifying
client-side application construction (Riena, Scout). Have you looked at
those projects as potential consumers of Sapphire?
But my biggest concern is how small and Oracle-specific the committer team
is. Increasing community and diversity on this project will be key to its
success. Do you have the commitment from Oracle to resource this project for
the long-term? This is an attempt to create a real Eclipse project, not a
code dump, right?
