webtools.ejbtools Committers,
Kaloyan Raev has expired the commit rights for David Williams
(david_williams).  The reason for this change is:

As requested by the committer: 

I'd like to resign from [...] webtools.ejbtools [...] I never have
contributed much to these projects, beyond fixing a few features, applying
a few patches when no one was around, etc., and even more now than ever,
would not be in a position to participate much in any "project level
discussions for decisions".

[wtp-dev] I would like to resign from several webtools sub-projects

david_williams@xxxxxxx (David M Williams) — Wed, 16 May 2012 03:29:58 GMT

Specifically, I'd like to resign from the following sub-projects:

webtools.datatools
webtools.ejbtools
webtools.jeetools
webtools.servertools
webtools.webservices

On the one hand, this make conceptual sense since I never have contributed much to these projects, beyond fixing a few features, applying a few patches when no one was around, etc., and even more now than ever, would not be in a position to participate much in any "project level discussions for decisions". But plan to stay in source editing (admittedly, sort of for sentimental reasons :) and webtools.releng (I actually still work on code there occasionally).

The timing of this change is motivated by me belonging in more than 16 unix groups which causes no end of grief for me in my recent "releng" role because my "new group" is in the "greater than 16 range" so removing these 5 groups will put me under the limit again, and give me more practical control over some files/directories which is complicated by unix groups limit (and NFS, I believe, out of the box, you need to recompile it to change the constant, little that I understand it). (see bug 378708 if you are interested in that kind complications I've been fighting).

So, Project Leads, the sooner the better :)

But, to repeat, this makes sense anyway, independent of the 16 group limit, so that's just motivated me to do something I should have done before now.

It goes without saying, WTP is and will always be getting attention from me, so this represents no change in that!

Thanks,

[wtp-dev] Welcome Rosendo Martinez as a new webtools.common Committer

[wtp-dev] Project meta data is out of date for webtools.ejbtools

emo@xxxxxxx (portal on behalf of emo) — Sat, 05 May 2012 04:00:20 GMT

Kaloyan,
Projects are required to keep meta data up to date using the MyFoundation
Portal (http://portal.eclipse.org/).  The following problems were found
with this project's meta-data:

* The date for release "WTP 3.3.2 (Indigo SR2)" is in the past, but the
release is not marked as completed. If it is completed, it should be marked
as completed; if it has been postponed, it should be given a new target
date.

[wtp-dev] Project meta data is out of date for webtools

emo@xxxxxxx (portal on behalf of emo) — Sat, 05 May 2012 04:00:15 GMT

Projects are required to keep meta data up to date using the MyFoundation
Portal (http://portal.eclipse.org/).  The following problems were found
with this project's meta-data:

* Project home page (projecturl = http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/) does
not have an "About ","About This Project" or "Information about
" link. Projects are required to provide that standard link on
their home page (see
http://www.eclipse.org/projects/standard-link-on-home-page.php) .
The 'About' link should point to this URL: 
http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project_summary.php?projectid=webtools
* The date for release "WTP 3.2.5" is in the past, but the release is not
marked as completed. If it is completed, it should be marked as completed;
if it has been postponed, it should be given a new target date.

Konstantin,
Projects are required to keep meta data up to date using the MyFoundation
Portal (http://portal.eclipse.org/).  The following problems were found
with this project's meta-data:

* There is no 'projecturl' pointing to the project home page
* There is no next/future release of this project. All Eclipse projects
must have a "next release" planned and scheduled.
