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).


It's back up now. I also made a small change to the config that should
hopefully help it get started automatically when something goes wrong.






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 ?


They were unused in the latest version of the system, so I got rid
of them.
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.
Exactly... Eclipse currently runs its websites through viewcvs, which is the main reason all that stuff is in CVS. It would be very time consuming to set things up so we didn't on our main eclipse.org pages. It's not worth the time. And there's no reason 
for all of that stuff to be in the Stellation repos.
