[news.eclipse.technology.ecomm] Re: Greetings and request for participat

["Jeff McAffer" <jeff_mcaffer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not really to enter into a naming debate but it doesn't have to be 
particularly short or related to Eclipse. There are only so many e* names. 
eRCP is a direct play on something that is already in Eclipse so I can buy 
that.  Lots of the tech projects have whole word names with no reference to 
Eclipse.

I realize it is hard and would offer some names but have yet to fully figure 
out what you are doing :-)
