[news.eclipse.dtp] Re: [ODA Ecore] Connection Profiles and Connection Pr

[Tim Myer <timezra@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John,
If they represent 2 independent features, then I would say "yes".  If 
Connection Profiles require Connection Properties, and if Connection 
Properties are only useful in conjunction with Connection Profiles, then 
a separate bug might be in order.  That's just my thought on the subject 
and I would be interested to hear others (especially as I have not used 
Connection Profiles and Properties before so am speaking without 
experience).
Thanks.
