The Modeling PMC has approved creation of an IMM component
as part of the MDT sub-project (see mailing list thread at
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/modeling-pmc/msg00562.html). Details on
the new component can be found on Eclipsepedia at
http://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT-IMM-Proposal.
The MDT sub-project will be accepting code contributions
which involve the addition of new committers on MDT. Details on these
committers are as follows:
