In Thursday's WTP status telecon, I
would like to discuss the possibility of opening up a WTP 1.5 code stream.
Now that Eclipse 3.2 is available, vendors will start building products
on top of Eclipse 3.2. For those vendors who also use WTP, they'll need
a WTP build that works on top Eclipse 3.2. However, such WTP build does
not exist. We are still building on top of Eclipse 3.1.1 and we have yet
to test WTP on top of Eclipse 3.2. To encourage the adoption of WTP and
to allow these vendors to make progress, I would like to propose we open
up a WTP 1.5 code stream and start building WTP on top of Eclipse 3.2.
Initially, we can keep the 1.0 code
stream and the 1.5 code stream common as much as possible by only fixing
Eclipse 3.2 API changes. That way, the effort to maintain dual code streams
can be kept to a minimal. Your suggestions/comments/concerns are welcome.
