Tally the votes on project name [message #14397] Wed, 21 January 2004 03:45 Go to next message

webdt:
(2) Matthew B., Adam F.

* - Igor also suggested TWINS as a potential name in the "Propose to
move to ObjectWeb" thread
** - Sjoerd had Web Development Tooling as one of his many name
suggestions in the ObjectWeb thread.

Not by a much of a lead, but it appears that Web Development Tools for
Eclipse is the "winner". Unless people want to continue to debate over
the name, can we close this issue?

In my eyes, I see Igor's, Chris' and Alex's votes having the extra
weight seeing as to how they all have pre-existing project codebases
that they *can* donate right away. Can we close this, and move on
before the everyone's enthusiasm dies out? Already the posts seem less
active.

Yes please :-)

Igor, I understand that you're not really in love with "Web Development
Tools for Eclipse" (WDTE). Would you still be okay contributing to the
project if we choose this path and not go with SolarEclipse?

There is also room for compromise IMO: SolarEclipse could live on as a
project providing JSP/J2EE tooling built on top of WDTE, for example. What
do you think?

Cheers,
Chris

WDTE - sounds very like a russian acronym for an accident on a road :)

I am ok contributing to it if we choose this path. Just don't want to
repeat some things again... and waste a space with one more dead project
(try to search "eclipse" on SourceForge and you will see tons of dead
projects and many of them related to web&xml)...

Actually only time will show... But what I am like to focus today is XML
tools.

Maybe the name Luna is something which could be usable (with eclipse still
embedded into the name), although I don't know any words which could be
abbreviated to Luna. Maybe Moon can be used instead of Luna, but I think
Luna is better.

It really doesn't matter that much to me, but still I think that a good
name helps making the project known.

I'm in agreement. WDTE it is... Can we start coding now?

Actually if Sun get their way and the Eclipse name is changed we don't want
to deliberately rile the Sun guys with Eclipse-like/related names. After all
we all want the same things really.

What about plain WDT, that way we have no dependencies on the current name
of the platform? Program to an interface, implementing sub-projects can add
on the "E" if they want.

Troll.
