[platform-vision] Include JVM based languages in the Vision statement?

[Lars Vogel <lars.vogel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

one topic we discussed in the last weeks call was that we might want to include support for alternative JVM based languages into the vision.

So our statement could become (for example):

-----------
In the shorter term, the Eclipse platform and related projects needs additional focus and resources on meeting the expectations of Java developers in particular. Quality, performance, out-of-the-box experience, Maven, Gradle and JVM based languages support, and close affiliation with new Java releases are all part of the solution.
----------------

I think that would be a good signal for alternative JVM languages.

If I understood Dani correctly that this would require additional resources, e.g., if Groovy wants improved support the Groovy developer would have to get involved as the JDT team does not have the resources to solve that alone.

[Dani please correct me if that does not reflect our statement correctly.]

What do the others on this list think about this suggestion? +1, 0 or -1 for this suggestion?

Best regards, Lars
