I think the gap has already been much reduced (think about newer Java features, performance, save actions, Maven support...), and what's left is not new and is almost all about the editor. >> >>> I realise that this is a big undertaking, but with some collaborative effort I think it can be done. >> >> >> We already have all the means and all the processes already there to address all that. I'm afraid more processes and more formal stuff will just distract people from doing what actually matters here: write the necessary code. >> However, if you can convince me that having something more formal will increase the amount of development/contribution time received by Eclipse IDE, I'm all for it; but at the moment, I have the impression after the few last releases that the less formal we are, and the more time we actually spend developing, the more contributors we attract, and the more value we ship. >> _______________________________________________ >> ide-dev mailing list >> ide-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx >> To unsubscribe from this list, visit https://www.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/ide-dev > > > > -- > Eclipse Platform project co-lead > CEO vogella GmbH > > Haindaalwisch 17a, 22395 Hamburg > Amtsgericht Hamburg: HRB 127058 > Geschäftsführer: Lars Vogel, Jennifer Nerlich de Vogel > USt-IdNr.: DE284122352 > Fax (040) 5247 6322, Email: lars.vogel@xxxxxxxxxxx, Web: http://www.vogella.com > _______________________________________________ > ide-dev mailing list > ide-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe from this list, visit https://www.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/ide-dev
