Re: [polarsys-iwg] Eclipse Tool Stack Interchange Format v0.1

We are investigating this area and will most likely be involve, we first need to confirm who will be working on it in open source.
We should have that person attend EclipseCon France so we can have face to face discussions and hopefully make significant progress that can then be posted on the list.

With apologies, I should have made it clear that I don't know if switching would help further discussion. I just found the copyright notice odd when I went to check out the spec. Others on this list will have to explain why they haven't commented.

I can, however, state with certainty that no Eclipse project could _implement_ a spec with such a copyright provision :)

I think all you have to do would be to replace the current copyright notice with something based on the default Eclipse copyright header[1]. 

I hope that helps!
