Re: [photran-dev] major problem with plugin names

The naming convention is generally org.eclipse.<project>. I realize other projects have not always followed this convention, but I think it's incorrect IMHO as it pollutes the namespace. The photran plugins are only the way they are because they started life as a separate project. If it doesn't make sense for them to be named under the photran (sub-)project, then they should be named under the parent project, ptp.

Wait, none of the Photran projects have "ptp" in the names, since we moved them from the Technology CVS repo. There's no way we're going to rename all of them. If we were going to do that, it should have happened when we did the merge several months ago.

the plugins are identifiable with the project they are from

The Rephraser plug-ins all have "Eclipse.org - Photran" as the provider. I can change it to "Eclipse.org - PTP/Photran" or something if we need to mention PTP. At any rate, this makes it obvious what project they're from.
