Re: [technology-pmc] AW: New component for JWT project

Hi Florian. I just took a quick peek at the Foundation database, and it seems that JWT has *no* components in the Eclipse Development Process sense of the word. I don't think this is a problem; the main reason that you'd want to formalize the notion of a component is have a degree of control over them (e.g. you can't set up a component's CVS structure to be writable by only a subset of the project's committers, have separate releases, IP records, etc.). Bjorn may have more to add on this point.

In terms of just creating a Bugzilla "component", go for it.

Hi Wayne,

I'm unsure whether it is a *new* component that needs approval. In the
project proposal we said we'll have three components at the beginning:
-WE, the workflow editor
-WAM, the workflow administration and monitoring tools
-Desktop, a tool in order to preview a workflow model without using a
process engine

We were mostly working on the workflow editor and on runtime dependent
things (connection with a workflow engine, monitoring, etc.), but quickly
got to know that without transformations to other formats and editors in
Eclipse, not many people will use our tools. That's why we started with the
first transformations already a while ago in order to be able to got
connected with BPMN, generate code in XPDL (and BPEL - under development)
and transform the model into the STP-IM.
These transformations have already been part of our last release (0.5.0)
which was approved by PMC. The transformations have already been announced
in the slides for release 0.4.0. So I thought, if the release has been
approved, then the transformations themselves, of course, have been
approved, too. On our CVS they already reside in their own directory
org.eclipse.jwt.transformations. The only thing that was missing was the
bugzilla component for an easier handling for future requests.
Concerning this information, will we now need PMC approval and if yes, would
you approve this *new* component?

Thanks in advance for your support and best regards,

Florian

You don't need approval from the PMC to create a new Bugzilla component.

However, you do need PMC approval to create a new project
component/sub-project. Is what you're doing going to result in a new
component as defined in section 4 of the development process document[1] ?
