@Benjamin: Are you suggesting that Jan should release a 1.0/2.0/5.0, but does NOT have to graduate at the same time, but could stay an incubation project? How can it be told that a project is in incubation then?
Absolutely. vert.x for example is still incubating, and releasing >1.0 versions [0] since they already had a “life” before Eclipse.
I’m just referring to the Eclipse Development Process [1] here. The only requirement is for incubating projects to make it clear in their branding [2] (bundle-name, features names, downloadable ZIP distros, etc) that it’s an incubation project. Also, the Wiki page [3] about the requirements for releases of an incubating project is pretty clear regarding possible having >1.0 releases.
Possible Jens and myself are simply (too) German and we wanted to follow the rules as we understood them for new Eclipse projects ("the Eclipse Way“).
There might be some documentation that refers to the now obsolete requirement that incubation means < 1.0, so if that’s what got you confused, please point us at the culprit documents.
