[portal-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxx (portal on behalf of )]

eclipse.e4 Committers,
This automatically generated message signals that Lars Vogel has nominated
Jayaprakash Arthanareeswaran as a Committer on the eclipse.e4 project. The
reason given is as follows:

Lets all welcome Jay, the JDT core lead, who plans to develop cool stuff
for JDT. See below for his request to join and his plans. 

Hello everyone,

I am a committer and component lead for JDT Core and would like to get
commit rights for the e4 repositories. Here's what I am specifically
looking to do:

1. Take out all the nice JDT "tooling" features from eclipse.jdt.ui
(decouple from the UI elements) and either put it in a new bundle or move
it to jdt.core.
2. Expose these "Tooling" features via APIs, so interested clients can
consume them outside the realm of an IDE.

To provide some background, the motivation comes from cloud based tools,
such as Orion, Flux etc, that would like to provide Java tooling 
capabilities. One of the goals of Flux is to be able to host the JDT
service in a headless way and broker the messages between this JDT service
and Orion Editor. Unfortunately, as of today, only jdt.core can be hosted
headlessly, but most of the nice editor features reside in jdt.ui, which
are entangled with eclipse UI components. This basically means that, the
two things I mentioned above should happen. Of course, we understand the
seriousness and complexity of the effort  and initially would like to keep
the work to the e4 repositories and decide the future course for action at
a later point.

With that, I would like to request for commit rights for eclipse.jdt.core
(which already has a repo under e4) and eclipse.jdt.ui (yet to be created).

Thanks,
Jay
