Re: [wtp-dev] Simplify WTP sub-project setup?
|
Hi Lars,
I agree with your suggestion to combine several projects but I am not
aware of any plans of this sort (I'm just starting to dive into the wtp
project). Therefore I can't tell what others on this list do think about it.
Speaking for myself: I don't know the plans of the other participants
but I hope to make some contributions (although only starting with
November when I got some time off). I personally believe that we should
follow this outline in order to get WTP into a modern state (at least
that's my personal goal for the next Eclipse release):
* Make all projects maven-only: I don't like the idea that we're using
eclipse configuration files and maven project descriptions together.
Maybe others have different opinions on that but I think developers
nowadays are used to check something out and just run "maven clean
install". Feedback is obviously welcome.
* Fix all basic issues: Loading the code base into Eclipse shows a lot
of issues such as unnecessary imports, casts, null checks etc. Since
these are trivial kinds of issues they should be fixed right away.
* Combine projects that make sense to be combined (the sourceediting
repository is such a candidate). I'm aware that other developers might
have different feelings about it.
* Use Java 8. That's my primary goal but I think the other stuff should
come first. I really like Java 8 ;-)
@Others
What is the exact procedure for reviews? I've just took a quick look at
https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/81399/ which had been assigned to Dimitar
Giormov. I personally would reject this commit purely on the basis that
the Server.java modification adds multiple duplications. However it
could be argued that the reviewer could refactor the code afterwards to
get rid of these duplications. What would be the right mindset in the
context of WTP?
Apart from that: Is there any list which shows who's responsible for
which project?
Bye

Hi,
https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/webtools seems to have a lot of
subprojects, but lots of them seem not very active.
Are there plans to combine sub-projects to simplify the committer setup?
We have done this in the Eclipse platform project with several
projects which had only a very small number of committers, e.g. ua,
runtime and text were merged into platform.ui and I think this helped
a lot.
This might help with issues like Robert having problems to get his
patches accepted
(http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/wtp-dev/msg10071.html).
Best regards, Lars
