| RE: [smila-dev] Applicability of http://wiki.eclipse.org/API_Central on smila/rt.* projects |
|
hi, i hereby revoke this
mail as we figured this out on our own. namely: to quote from
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse “The unfortunately named "Eclipse Project" is the project
dedicated to producing the Eclipse SDK…” hence, indeed these
guides are for the top-level project and not for projects at eclipse in
general. Kind regards Thomas Menzel brox IT-Solutions GmbH From: smila-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx
[mailto:smila-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Thomas Menzel Hi, i have a question in regard to how strictly
the guides set out @ http://wiki.eclipse.org/API_Central
and its subpages are for projects that build on the eclipse framework but don’t
change its existing code. as far as I understand the guide it is
targeted mainly for (core) framework development of eclipse itself. in our case we are just building on that
framework and although these guides make much sense to be followed I think they
also add quite an overhead – especially when a software is in its infancy and
direction/design of code is still under much discussion. I do understand that since we haven’t
released anything yet, all our APIs are considered provisional and hence
subject to change. even though, if we want to fully implement
this guide it would mean a considerable effort to change code and hence wonder,
how strongly this is seen for projects like SMILA. Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards Thomas Menzel brox IT-Solutions GmbH |
