Wayne, to help this out, we can move just the Vex code after it has
been renamed, into it's own Git repository and out of the WTP
Incubator. This way it'll only contain the pieces that are
necessary for the Vex project itself.

Move Vex to Mylyn Docs
Hi David, and Florian.
I'm not subscribed to the two mailing lists. Can you post this
on my behalf?
Thanks,
Wayne

the "flat" namespace (org.eclipse.vex) as David suggests.
From a process POV, we need to schedule a restructuring review.
Before
that can happen, we'll need to have IP Log approval for the code
that needs
to move; please submit that at your earliest convenience and we
can go
about scheduling the review.
Note that we'll need a very concise document that describes what
needs
to move from where to where to make this work. FWIW, I have used
a
bug comment for this purpose in the past.

You may want to get Wayne's advice on namespace. I'm assuming
Vex will
be its own project? If so, it may deserve its own namespace in
the third
position, that is, org.eclipse.vex..... The reason naming is
done this
way, is that if a project moves from one project to another,
there's no
reason so change package names (Vex serving as a good example of
where
that would have been handy) ... though we in WTP do not set a
good example
... but, that's the idea, I believe.
Also, as the transfer happens, be sure to be explicit about
which committers
are transferring _out_ of WTP Incubator. Of the 4 you name, I
know David
Carver would not, but off the top of my head believe the other 3
should
be removed from WTP Incubator committer lists (Vex being the
only thing
they work on?). Additionally, if I recall correctly, I think Ed
Burnette
was brought in with Vex, but since he's not been able to
participate, probably
good time to remove him from the committer lists also.
Thanks ... and good luck!

Subject: [wtp-incubator-dev] Move Vex to Mylyn
Docs
Sent by: wtp-incubator-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx
Hi WTP Incubator and Mylyn Docs developers,
Some month ago there was a proposal to move Vex out of the WTP
incubator
into the Mylyn Docs project: https://bugs.eclipse.org/328390
The Visual Editor for XML (Vex) is an WYSIWYM(ean) editor for
XML
documents, i.e. text documents plus some semantics. Because
the main
purpose of Vex is not to edit configuration files or
deployment
descriptors etc. or not to edit web pages (although you could
use XHTML
as your underlying schema) but to edit documentation, e.g.
DITA and
DocBook files. So we thought Vex would much better fit into
the Mylyn
Docs project than in the Web Tools Platform.
You can find more information about Vex in the wiki:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Vex
Since all the restructuring and the Indigo release is done, we
would
start the move with a little introduction of the project and
the
committers. There are currently four:
- David Carver http://intellectualcramps.wordpress.com
- Igor Campista http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dir/+/Lino+campista/+/
- Holger Voormann http://eclipsehowl.wordpress.com
- and me Florian Thienel
which are working only in their free time (unfortunately, no
company
involved yet). Vex is still in incubation and we are still
working on
some of the basic features.
So far so good: we suggest to move Vex from
o.e.wst.xml.vex(.*) to
o.e.mylyn.vex(.*). The code should go from
< http://git.eclipse.org/c/webtools/org.eclipse.webtools.incubator.git/
>
to http://git.eclipse.org/c/mylyn/org.eclipse.mylyn.docs.git/
, but there
needs also some restructuring done to match the directory
structure of
Mylyn.
What do you think?
Best Regards,
Florian
