Re: [m2t-dev] Status of Jet2 project 
Ed,
The UML dependency was for the uuid tag (I think) which generated a valid unique id suitable for UML use. You need it (or at least you used to) if you wanted to generate some persisted EMF objects.
JET2 was certainly released as part of the Rational IDE suite, but it vary well may have not survived the push into open source. I was part of that original group, but now use my own tooling that I wrote and open-sourced in order to get away from the Eclipse dependency.

Hi Christian

Since the original committers have probably moved on to other things ....
A version of JET is a critical component of EMF and while the templates evolve, the JET variant in org.eclipse.emf.codegen.jet is very stable.
IIRC one intent of Jet2 was to provide a nice editor to make the <% %> intelligible. I think there was something that worked.
Attempting to install the R201102081240/m2t-jet-Update-1.1.1.zip fails through a very strong determination to find UML2 4.0.0 that was superseded 4 years ago by by 5.0.0 ... See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=358574 raised in 2011, worked on in 2014 but never RESOLVED.
Commits to master in 2015, Update UML2 to 5.0.0 (current) and suggest that a Maven build was working, but there appears to be no corresponding download. (See https://git.eclipse.org/c/m2t/org.eclipse.jet.git/log/)
Note that the above that comes from the Jet2 projects downloads page is dated after the not-reviewed 2.0.0 release, so possibly no Jet2 was ever released. The GIT contents do not seem to have 2.0 content. 

So I'm afraid the answer is abandoned rather than stable.
(I'm really puzzled by the UML dependency. I suspect it could be changed / removed quite easily.)
Since the editor does not appear to use Xtext, it might be easier to redevelop than resurrect.
That said, there is a good chance that some enthusiast with Tycho/Maven skills could produce a new build in a day or two. It is possible that a local Tycho build just 'works'.

Hi,

while hitting some limitations with the Jet libraries that come along
with EMF, I found the Jet2 project. From the commit history it seems
either rock stable or abandoned.

Therefore I would like to ask for the status of the project. Is it
still maintained?

thanks
Christian
