Re: [cdt-dev] TM Terminal and CDT plans

[Jonah Graham <jonah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello CDT and TM folks,

I have been asked to revive this merge. I believe it makes sense to bring the tm.terminal code into the CDT repo for release engineering purposes in the same way we just merged the launchbar and tools.templates into CDT.

This has been discussed on both cdt-dev and tm-dev mailing lists in the past (the thread I am replying to thread for cdt-dev and https://www.eclipse.org/lists//tm-dev/msg01214.html for tm-dev).

The current TM repo does not build (out of date target platform).

My biggest concern about doing this is the comment in the TM readme:

== Circular Dependencies

In theory, the RSE and Terminal are independent projects.

In practice, they each depend on each other, which is why we've now merged the RSE (org.eclipse.tm) and Terminal (org.eclipse.tm.terminal) repos into a single gerrit repo to resolve this cycle and make building easier.

We already have circular dependencies that we have learned to live with, but I don't really want to add RSE as a new dependency of CDT.

Before I go further down this path I want to solicit input. Does anyone know why this stalled last time? Should we just fix the TM builds as they are (gerrit)?

A while back it was proposed that CDT bring TM Terminal to the CDT.  Doug, is there any progress on this or time-line scheduled? 

Linux Tools Docker tooling requires TM Terminal and as of Monday, Eclipse Target Management is being dropped from Photon aggregation.
