RE: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] What exactly will be part of e4?

BTW, CVS is no longer part of the platform runtime and
is already an optional download. I learned that the hard way in 3.3
with Wascana ;)
Doug.
These are good questions Michael.
Unfortunately we seem only capable of maintaining a few active discussions
(and presentation happened to be first). In the EclipseCon presentation/BOF and in the wiki we talked about "The
20 Things", which are the base intrinsic services that the platform provides.
Things like selection, commands, jobs, etc. We need to start talking
about these, they're critical because they'll form the programming model.

Certainly in the case of
CVS historical. Going forward, especially now that we have p2, I'd like to
see a clearer split between base technologies vs. optional technologies
(resources, JFace, Ant etc.), and vs. vertical domain components (CVS, JDT,
etc). That's part architectural (ensuring the dependencies are right, as
per your more recent note), and part packaging. Kevin

I
think what is considered part of current (eclipse 3) "platform"
is partly
determined by the history of eclipse. Will we just
take the historic platform
components and rework them as e4?
The e4 discussion up to now has been
very much focused on the
presentation layer (SWT/JFace/Workbench).
I'd
like to see a clear picture of what is part of e4 and what the
layers
are.
What about compare, text, jobs, update, resources, debug, team?
Are
those part of e4? What will be the impact of e4 on those
components?
For example, why is CVS and Ant part of the (current)
platform
but not EMF? EMF seems more fundamental and general than say,
CVS.
Michael
