[news.eclipse.technology.etf] ETF and Equinox and Eclipse

["Jeff McAffer" <jeff_nospam_mcaffer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

First, it is very exciting that people are looking at this -- long overdue.

I am curious to know what areas of Eclipse you expect to impact.  One of the
keys to success for this type of Technology project is early and frequent
contact with the teams who are expected to receive the changes.  For
example, there have been various mutterings about login prompts and keying
plugin-sets to identity etc within the Runtime team.  This may or may not
line up with what you are thinking.  Early discussion with that team might
expose overlaps, alignments and/or disconnects.

On a related note, it would be good to understand the overlap with the
Equinox security work.  Things have been pretty quiet on the newsgroup etc
but there is work going on.  I encourage you to look at what they've been
doing and talk with them.
