[eclipse.org-committers] New Project Proposal: Enterprise Modules (Gemin

[Wayne Beaton <emo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am pleased to announce a proposal for a new project to be created 
under the Eclipse Runtime (RT) top-level project.

This proposal recommends the creation of a new project called 
"Enterprise Modules" [1], nicknamed Gemini, to provide a home for 
subprojects that integrate existing Java enterprise technologies into 
module-based platforms, and/or that implement enterprise specifications 
on module-based platforms. Gemini will be a parent ("container project" 
as defined by the Eclipse Development Process) for several subprojects 
("operating projects" as defined by the Eclipse Development Process) 
that provide the specific implementations/integrations. Gemini will 
itself be a subproject of the Eclipse Runtime Project and will strive to 
leverage functionality of existing projects. We encourage and request 
additional participation and input from any and all interested parties 
in the Eclipse community.

This proposal is in the Project Proposal Phase (as defined in the 
Eclipse Development Process) and is written to declare its intent and 
scope. We solicit additional participation and input from the Eclipse 
community. Please send all feedback to the Gemini Eclipse Forum [2] or 
eclipse.gemini newsgroup [3].

Note: the forum and newsgroup should be available within 48 hours.

Thanks,

Wayne
