RE: [wtp-incubator-dev] More on XSL Graduation ...
|
I really don't want to come of as pushing you guys in particular direction. It is really a decision that XSL committers should make and be comfortable with. I do want to point out that there are certain advantages to having a separate project...
1. You release on your own schedule.
2. You have a separate committers list locked to a separate CVS repository. This also makes elections more straightforward.
3. If the XML Tools project ever comes to be, it will trivial to move XSL Tools project from WTP to XML Tools. On the other hand, if the XSL Tools code has been merged into the Source Editing project, pulling it back out will take more work (both at the technical level and the process level).
4. You get more visibility by being listed as a project in places like (http://www.eclipse.org/projects/listofprojects.php).
Of course, there are disadvantages as well. If we assume that you guys will want to manage a separate build in either case, the main overhead of a separate project involves keeping project metadata in the portal up to date.

In reality it doesn't matter to me. I just specified a particular
preference.
