[News.eclipse.technology.packaging] Re: Strawpack package proposal for Java Enterprise Developer

Greetings all. I thought that I might take a stab at a useful exemplary configuration for the packaging project.

I call this one "Java Enterprise Developer"

    * Platform
    * JDT
    * Web tools
    * JSF + Dali
    * Visual Editor
    * Mylar
    * Tomcat | Jetty
    * XDoclet 1.2.3?


No BIRT? No DataTools?
I know, I know...we can't include everything. But those seems like pretty in line with "enterprise" development (a somewhat poor name, if you ask me - although I don't have anything better to offer; I use JEE technologies for many projects that are not "enterprise.")
Also, if the SOA tools (STP) is ready for prime-time, it would seem to elong under the "enterprise" heading as well.

What about Modeling stuff? Are you envisioning a separate Modeler package?


I've included Jetty on the list because I've been hearing a lot of rumbling about it. I'll be honest, I don't know very much about it, or even if it makes sense to include. I understand that platform is including it, and wonder if we might be able to leverage that. I believe that there is a web tools adapter for it (correct me if I'm wrong).

There are a couple of Bugzilla entries to track the Jetty effort. I think the gist is that it is replacing the bundled Tomcat stuff and will be part of the platform (since Help will depend on it). Here's the bug #s I have references to:
