I found the following potentially missing or obsolete stuff.

org.eclipse.stellation.scm.model

   The directory org.eclipse.stellation.scm.model/doc/CVS should not be
present


Thanks for catching that.  I'll take care of it once I can access the
repository again (it was down when I checked just now).




org.eclipse.stellation.stim

   Is the directory
org.eclipse.stellation.stim/org/eclipse/stellation/stim/messages obsolete?
   Is the directory
org.eclipse.stellation.stim/org/eclipse/stellation/stim/model obsolete?


Both directories are now obsolete.  They contained (incomplete) code intended
to simulate the task server for GUI testing purposes, before the actual task
server was ready for use.


   The directory
org.eclipse.stellation.stim/org/eclipse/stellation/stim/util is empty. Is
that correct?


No.  There should be three files: ColorManager.java, PixelConverter.java and
SWTUtil.java.  My note yesterday was incorrect: I restored these three files
in my local workspace (along with purging obsolete files).  So, Stim is not
currently buildable from repository source (sorry).
I still haven't been able to check in my updates to org.eclipse.stellation.stim, 
first due to a technical problem with the 'svc' tool, and now because the
repository seems to be down again <sigh>.  However, (once the repository is up
again), you should still be able to work with the rest of the codebase; stim
is not required by any other project.

BTW - I assume that there is a 'src' directory in the middle of the
source pathnames you cite:

    org.eclipse.stellation.stim/src/org/eclipse/stellation/stim/util
rather than
    org.eclipse.stellation.stim/org/eclipse/stellation/stim/util

If not, that's a problem.




org.eclipse.stellation.util

   The files XMLFile.java and XMLOutputStream.java are missing from
org.eclipse.stellation.util/org/eclipse/stellation/util.


There is no trace of those files in any of my local workspaces (including
a couple dating back to the spring.  I suspect Mark removed or consolidated
them; all Stellation projects build  (and 'svc' runs) without them.
Mark ?



In addition, there used to be the source for a bunch of papers plus the
source for the web site. Do you plan to continue to maintain this in CVS for
the time being?


As far as I know, yes.  The website HTML and papers are published using a
viewcvs script at present.  We could probably publish the files directly
from the stellation.eclipse.org host (after all, we're hosting the Wiki),
but porting the website doesn't seem like  a good use of time currently.

BTW, I will be out of town for a couple of days (shepherding high school
students to an out-of-state debate tournament).  I hope to get the repository
fully up to date either tomorrow or Sunday (when I return depends on how well
the debate team does), assuming the repository is back online.

Regards,

Jim
