[jdt-dev] JDT-Javac as a subproject of JDT (instead of JDT-Core)

[Mickael Istria <mistria@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello JDT,

To clarify the work being potentially useful in parallel and independently of JDT-LS, we're considering moving the JDT-Javac repo as a subproject of JDT in general, and thus as a sibling of JDT-LS.

See https://github.com/eclipse-jdtls/eclipse-jdt-core-incubator/discussions/1881 for the ongoing discussion, listing some rationale for this move.

This would then be a different subproject, with a different schedule, committers set, GitHub oraganization than "main" JDT. This project would not participate to JDT, Eclipse SDK nor Simrel for the moment; it would basically only host code + CI.

Is there any objection against this move?

We will soon start to work on a project proposal. Your questions/comments/concerns are already more than welcome in order to ensure they are covered as part of the proposal. So please share anything you think can challenge or confort the future proposal.

Thanks!
