Hi all,

I sent the mail below to the epp-dev list, but, of course, I'd like to get feedback from the Planning Council, too.

Thanks and regards,
Markus

Hi package maintainers,

I've opened bug 455645 to discuss something that was on my wish list for a long time: The addition of Oomph [1] to all EPP packages. It's now a mature project at Eclipse.org and will be part of the Mars Simultaneous Release.

My hope is that it will solve many of the problems that we are discussing since many years, e.g. it would ask the user in a wizard for his/her preferred file encoding (UTF-8?) when Eclipse is started for the first time, it can synchronise your preferences between workspaces, it solves the problem with a target definition, ... and a lot more.

Please have a look at

where I'd like to discuss the details and track the progress.

Thanks,
Markus
