[news.eclipse.technology.kepler] Re: Thoughts on a Common Project Model

[Jesse McConnell <"jesse,mcconnell"@gmail.com>]

When I look at the types and volume of this kinda information I wonder 
if a hierarchy of this common model information is in order?

If not then the volume of duplication of information will be large, 
leading to errors and out of date information.

but then being self contained means you don't have to worry about 
accessing parent models and merging the information.  and then you have 
access controls to modifying that parent information

maybe a template produced by an organization like eclipse or the asf 
would be sufficient..

strong thoughts either way?
