VCM 2.0:  New name, new architecture, new technology.

Hello all,

The VCM team is very excited to announce that we've released an initial 
view of the 2.0 targeted new work.  This is the first step along the road 
as described on the VCM team page (http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-vcm-home/main.html).

There are a few things to note:

1. This work is very young.  We've released it in order to gather feedback 
and participation from the community.  We expect it will undergo 
significant change.  It will not be going into builds until we've achieved 
the appropriate stabilization level.

2. VCM has a new name!  The component is now called "Team Support" (or 
just "Team").  This will align the component name with the menus and 
documentation released in 1.0.  In addition, it signifies that this is a 
substantial departure from the 1.0 work.  And lets face it, nobody knew 
what "VCM" stood for anyway.  In time the component page and mail list 
will be updated to reflect this new name.

3. From hereon, all VCM related discussions will now take place in the VCM 
newsgroup.


We will soon be posting additional information on our component team page. 
 In the interim, you can find our new work in the following projects:

org.eclipse.team.core
org.eclipse.team.cvs.core
org.eclipse.team.cvs.ui
org.eclipse.team.cvs.ssh
org.eclipse.team.examples.core
org.eclipse.team.examples.ui
org.eclipse.team.ui

There is additional documentation released in the 
org.eclipse.team.examples.  We've included two examples, a Remote File 
System provider, and a non-versioning DAV provider.  The file system 
provider is mostly working, and we expect to have the DAV example working 
very soon.

We've also released an initial cut of our CVS client based on the 2.0 
archicture.  Check it out!
