[eclipse-pmc] Restructuring review for the "e4 tools" Git project migrat

[Lars Vogel <lars.vogel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

e4 tools provide the tools to create and work with Eclipse 4 based applications, IDE's as well as RCP applications. 

Parts of the tools are planned to get integrated into PDE, i.e. the e4 project wizard. But others, like the application model editor and the "spies" are currently not planned to be integrated to PDE as they (in parts) depend on extensions of the EMF framework, like the EMF undo / redo support.

The e4 tools would like to get included into the "official" Mars release. Our users complain that they have to seek a different update site to get the tools integrated. 

As we are currently part of the e4 incubator project Wayne advised that we need to do a restructuring review migrating our e4 tools code to a new project. https://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/HOWTO/Restructuring_Reviews advises that we seek PMC approval for that early in the process.

Can the PMC advice if it OK with such a restructuring review? As new project name I think "e4 tools" would be good.

Best regards, Lars
