Reading through the document, I believe these
are valid requirements and the design fits the solution. I have a
minor, and a major issue :-)
1) Features are compared to natures in
projects, but belong to modules. My concern is that we are making a
decision to design something into a module (an abstraction of web/j2ee
modules), that will eventually help us build "features" into modules that
will not be supported by all server runtimes. So far I am ok.
I would like to stress that any work that goes into WTP, should have
something to support some out-of-the-box WTP functionality. Designing,
and writing code that will only be used by external consumers of WTP should
belong with the external consumer, (i.e. a requirement for web module
with pollinate feature is for an external consumer therefore not valid, but
web module with web-service feature is etc.). What this means is we
should also use these features internally for standard
functionality.
2) I feel this is a major change - I would like
component owners that are affected by this change to make the decision on
accepting the change prior to R1.0. I am against any major changes late in
the process. However, I cannot fully judge the extent of the changes
to say yes or no. The component owners should judge themselve if they
can produce a quality build for M5, and release for R1. I would like to hear
from server, web, j2ee, web-service and flexible project leads on the
effects of this proposed change and vote go or no-go. We should hold a
vote.

The following document describes proposed changes to componentcore and server apis:
http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/development/proposals/Component_Feature_Proposal.html
A couple main objectives:
1) provide a nature-style api on flexible project components
2) less direct coupling of a wtp project and a particular IServerRuntime
Feedback is very welcome. I've gone ahead and opened a set of bugs to track the tasks involved in getting this into m5. These are all pending approval of the api change of course.
