I just played around a little bit with the Helios Modeling Package and especially with the new discovery feature for installing additional modeling components.
I've used the Amalgam DSL-Toolkit before and now I'm missing some of the components that were integrated in this package (especially the DSL-Project wizard).
Are these components available somewhere for installation in Helios or will they be delivered sometime after the Helios release?
the team responsible for those examples left, they are still kept in the CVS
repository but have not been updated for Helios and as such are not provided
in the package. If you're willing to update those examples or know somebody
that would, do not hesitate to provide patches and may be at some point join
the project as a commiter.

Hi. I would like to know if the DSL Toolkit is still unavailable for Eclipse Helios as it is intended to be the support of the GMP - Eclipse Modeling as a DSL Toolkit Book. I found this article of June 2010 (Jaxcenter article), and I'm not sure if finally Obeo in head of Cédric Brun is leading and maintining this project.
And I'am wondering to know if the Amalgam plugins are the ones that ease the modeling components installation, as included in the modeling package of Eclipse. In addition I want to know which are the plugins added by the Amalgam project to Eclipse Helios and to Eclipse Indigo as it is written in the page "consumable and consistent Modeling Platform, complementary integration code to enhance the user experience, easy one click discover and install wizard to extend the package and examples leveraging modeling technologies."
