[wtp-dev] WST JDT removal work -- J2EE and common plugin name changes

[John Lanuti <jlanuti@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Extended Team,

NOTE:  This does not apply
to Thursday's integration build, but to the wtp head stream.  We will
not update our maps to include these
changes for the integration build.  This
will ripple through some other teams and cause breakages so please update
your plugin
dependencies accordingly.

It was commonly requested that we alleviate
the JDT dependencies from the WST layer of the web tools project.  In
order
for the J2EE team to accomplish this,
we had to make some significant changes with respect to plugin names, extension
points,
and package names.  Essentially,
we had to move some plugins that did not make any sense in the wst layer
to the jst layer.

However, we have succesfully removed
the JDT depency on WST.

At a high level, these are the plugins
that were moved and renamed:

org.eclipse.wst.common.annotations.controller
  ----->  org.eclipse.jst.common.annotations.controller
org.eclipse.wst.common.annotations.core
          ----->  org.eclipse.jst.common.annotations.core
org.eclipse.wst.common.annotations.ui
               ----->  org.eclipse.jst.common.annotations.ui
org.eclipse.wst.common.jdt.integration
                ----->  org.eclipse.jst.common.frameworks
  
org.eclipse.wst.common.jdt.integration.ui
            ----->  org.eclipse.jst.common.frameworks.ui
org.eclipse.wst.common.navigator.java
               ----->  org.eclipse.jst.common.navigator.java


The most notable extension point change
was to the NavigatorGroup extension, so if you are contributing
a navigator group, the extension point
was moved out of the java layer and
into the wst layer so that the base navigator can still exist in wst.  This
means the fully qualified name of the
extension point changed.

A more detailed explanation is as follows:
