As per the
Eclipse Development Process, we are notifying the Eclipse
Membership-at-Large of the intent of Borland and IBM to propose a new top-level project: the Modeling Project.
A brief
description of the project is below.
Project Declaration for "Top-Level Modeling Project"
Eclipse has several projects that deal with modeling, in one form or
another. Currently, these projects are spread across the Tools and
Technology top-level projects. It is proposed that they be brought
together under a new top-level Eclipse Modeling Project. The goal of
this reorganization would be to foster communication and
interoperability among the projects, and to better control the growing
list of Eclipse projects by means of a logical organizational structure.
The Eclipse Modeling Project will focus on the evolution and
promotion of model-based development technologies within the Eclipse
community. It will unify and refine existing Eclipse projects falling
into this classification, and augment them with those needed to bring
holistic model-based development capabilities to the Eclipse community.
It will be the task of the newly formed Project Management Committee
(PMC) of this proposed top-level project to solicit contributors in
order to meet this goal.
