Hi Martin,

I have added this issue to our agenda for Sunday's planning council meeting. We will get back to you with a crystal clear naming convention. If you have any comments, we can add them to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=252813 .

Cheers...
Anthony

Some time last year, there was a recommendation to use
 
   Eclipse DSDP Project
   Eclipse DTP Project
   Eclipse CDT Project
   ...
 
but now we have
 
   Eclipse.org - Equinox
 
I agree with John that a clear naming convention would be good.
 
Cheers,

It would have been nice for the planning council to give a more specific recommendation for the plugin "provider name". I'm worried we'll end up with a real mixed bag of naming conventions that will look unpolished when mixed together (inconsistent in capitalization, etc). For what it's worth, we ended up using "Eclipse.org - Equinox" for the Equinox project. Having "Eclipse" in there still seemed valuable for end users who might not be familiar with Eclipse project code names. If an end user sees "Data Tools Platform" as the provider, I'm not sure they will make the connection to an Eclipse project by that name...

Subject	[cross-project-issues-dev] Question about the Branding requirement for Galileo

Hi all... 

Was running through the list of requirements for Galileo and we're down to the Branding must-do requirement for Galileo in DTP. After chatting with David Williams a bit yesterday, it seemed like a good idea to bounce these questions to the cross projects list to see if anyone had any suggestions. :) 

The "Branding" requirement states: "Each major project (as determined by participating PMCs) should have an About dialog icon with descriptive text (e.g. provider name = "Eclipse Modeling Project" and not simply Eclipse.org) and contribute to the welcome page." 

To address this requirement, we're going to follow the example provided in the description and change "Eclipse.org" to "Data Tools Platform" for all of the DTP plug-ins and features as the provider name. Easy enough. 

However, none of us in DTP are graphic artists (by any stretch of the imagination), so we're hoping we can continue to use the same icon used by the Eclipse Platform for our About dialog icon in Galileo. (That is unless someone on the list has some graphic design, some time, and a fantastic idea for a custom DTP icon. :) ) Though lame, using the older icon should address the requirement and we can try and find a graphic designer in the next release to update our look and give it a stylish new icon. 

The final part of the requirement is to contribute to the welcome page. I'm guessing this is the general platform welcome page, since DTP also has its own welcome page that comes up sometimes. (I'm not exactly sure of what the rules are about why/how that page appears sometimes and not others, but I'm guessing there's a pattern there I'm just not seeing.) That said, we would like to contribute to the main welcome page if DTP is installed, but have no idea how to do that. 

David mentioned that there are some "easy to use" extension points, but I'm curious if it's been documented what exactly we're supposed to contribute to meet this requirement and how we're supposed to do that. Any ideas, links, suggestions, and so on would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks in advance!
