Packagers,
Janet has alerted me to something I forgot about the packages: because
they are a "distribution" by the Eclipse Foundation, we/you need to
make sure that if the packages containing any Incubation Phase
projects, the packages are correctly labeled as such. The standard for
labeling is currently described in the incubation phase guidelines and
includes having the file names contain "-incubation-". So, two
questions:
(1) Do any of the existing packages contain projects that are
incubating or are shipping incubating code?
(2) If so, when can you change the package build system to include the
correct incubation phrase and to have the package name itself be
"JavaEE (Incubation)" (or whatever).
Thanks,
- Bjorn

At a
minimum, we should try to be
consistent with the naming requirements for incubating projects.
Including a notice file in the root directory indicating the status of
the
distribution would also help. What will the person accessing the file
be
presented with?
