Phillipe, Jeff, Wassim,
Thanks to the Board's passing of the revised development process last
week, we are now allowed to implement an "inherit from parent" feature
in the meta-data and we will. It's about third on the list though,
behind some vacation time and then making sure that the infrastructure
for Eclipse Summit Europe is working. So expect to see one more set of
error messages on October 5th and then, in mid October, we'll implement
the "inherit" feature for meta data so that you can set eclipse.jdt as
inheriting it's releases from eclipse, etc.
- Bjorn
All subprojects of the
Eclipse project
are governed by the meta data of the toplevel Eclipse project.
So essentially, we would have to
duplicate
the same information for each. Given there is no easy way to do so,
without
going through all forms and filling them separately. This is really
painful.
Like duplicating all the history of
the various releases is just painfull. I wish there was simply a link
to
release descriptions in xml form, which I could refer to from multiple
pages.
