Re: [platform-vcm-dev] VCM plugin for StarTeam

Ringo, I would recommend that for the time being you host your subproject
on SourceForge or similar. We (Eclipse) are still working out how to
start subprojects. There are advantages but also disadvantages to be an
Eclipse Project subproject, or an Eclipse Tools Project subproject, that
have to be worked out and made clear.
It may for example be better for you to host it elsewhere but have us link
to your project. That way you don't have to live under the charter, etc.
This is all new to us so you are best to just make progress in the
interim.

I read on the VCM page that the goal is to have CVS + 2 additional
providers ready by the end of the year. I suspect that one of the two
additional ones will be ClearCase. I would like to propose StarTeam as
the second. And I don't know if StarBase is going to participate
themselves in this, but otherwise I will. The company where I work
standardized on StarTeam and we also have the StarTeam SDK. This SDK
includes a full Java library to all the features of StarTeam, so an
Eclipse integration should be easily done. No native code has to be
written at all.
I don't know about the licensing and distribution terms of the StarTeam
Java library. I'll figure this one out.
BTW, if I would start on this one, what build of the R2.0 stream should
I use? Stable, nightly or integration build? Can I use the 1.0 version
to develop and a 2.0 build to test my code against?
You may interpret this message as an official request to the PMC for the
creation of a StarTeam VCM sub project.
