Re: [gmf-dev] Request approval to rename features (suffix IDs by .feature)

You will find that the user community will complain about any minor breaking change that is made.

Are you sure the build technology cannot handle this, it is common? I have been looking around and a ton of Eclipse projects have the feature org.eclipse.something and a matching plugin org.eclipse.something.

Cheers...
Anthony

Should I go for renaming branding plugins to [pluginId].branding?

org.eclipse.gmf.tooling and org.eclipse.gmf.sdk plugins are both branding plugin without code/API content. What do you think about renaming them to org.eclipse.gmf.tooling.branding and org.eclipse.gmf.sdk.branding?
This is the same problem for org.eclipse.gmf.doc bundle & plugin.

I understand it is a breaking change, but it is easy to fix, and will happen when changing a version. People will easily adapt, won't they?

org.eclipse.gmf.tooling feature rename to org.eclipse.gmf.tooling.feature is a breaking change if someone if depending on the feature.

Is the org.eclipse.gmf.tooling branding plugin empty of exported code?

Hi all,

In order to have a working Tycho build, it is necessary that the project does not contain 2 artifacts with the same name. But this is currently the case with several features and plugins with same name (default branding plugin) for a feature.
To fix this and go ahead with Tycho, I locally renamed all features to suffix them with .feature. Then org.eclipse.gmf.tooling feature is now named org.eclipse.gmf.tooling.feature, and the org.eclipse.gmf.tooling remains unchanged. Same thing for the other features.

What do you think about that? I'd like to commit my progress but such a renaming is something that deserves some brainstorming.
And also, do you have any idea of which files I should change in current builder to follow those renamings?

Regards,
