Re: [corrosion-dev] Removing Corrosion from SimRel 2020-09?

My personal perception of SimRel is "Orbit of bigger scale": a set of building blocks for other components/products that passed standard release procedure and well aligned with other components. A kind of "QC" stamp from EF, yes.
Again, this is just a personal perception, and I know that reality is different, but it is aligned with what I would expect from the Eclipse component/product.

From this perspective I agree with Nico:
> Not sure. Users will perceive this as "Rust development effort in Eclipse being abandoned". Or at least demoted to "second class citizen".

If you asked what the community thinks, this is it :)

Technically, while it's just a little hurdle for those new to Rust, those ones would perhaps take another look at CLion instead when they don't find "Eclipse for Rust developers" as a SimRel anymore ;)

As I'm not sure this is properly understood:*
* "Eclipse for Rust developers" will still be available and released together with all the rest
* http://download.eclipse.org/releases/2020-09 will not contain Corrosion anymore but be fetched from its own update site when "Eclipse for Rust developers" is built

Hi all,

I'm considering whether it makes sense to have Corrosion part of SimRel, and what is the added-value of being in SimRel for Corrosion?
IMO, the vast majority of Corrosion users install it via Marketplace or use the "Eclipse IDE for Rust Developers" from EPP; in case of Marketplace they then get updates by the Corrosion p2 repo, in case of EPP, via SimRel.
EPP allows to consume directly other p2 repos than SimRel, so I'm thinking that maybe it'd be better to just stop pushing Corrosion to SimRel (that's one less step to do in case of new release) and instead just make the EPP package reference Corrosion p2 repo.
I believe this would reduce the maintenance effort and give Corrosion more control over what it ships to EPP without intermediary steps. And, as mentioned above, I don't foresee it degrading the user experience in any way.

Does anyone have concerns with that?

 + 1 from me. If simrel had the fileextension search (like marketplace) in some way I might have  seen this as a reason to keep it but without it Rust in simrel doesn't make any sense to me.

If not, I'll start taking those changes in SimRel and EPP soon after 2020-06 is released.

Cheers,
