AW: [jwt-dev] Does EMF Facets have anything to do with JWT Views ?

["Florian Lautenbacher" <lautenbacher@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Marc, hi Chris,

yes, it seems indeed that they follow similar ideas. I think we already met
the guy who is leading this proposal and discussed with him (either at
EclipseCon or ESE, I don't remember anymore; but the name sounds familiar).
I agree that we should contact him and let them know that we're an
interested party. Maybe we could share some of our code to this new project
and build on EMF Facets? I guess there is a forum for EMF Facets to discuss
such topics? Or do they already have an own mailing list?

Just as a side node: since last Friday I'm again an official committer (due
to my change of employer I needed to hand in some forms and only last Friday
my account got re-opened). I hope that in the following weeks I'll find more
time to fix some bugs. Alas, I didn't have the opportunity to talk to Zsolt
about an SOA article during the Open Source SOA days, but I'll try to meet
him in the following days.

Best regards,

Florian

Hi Chris

Thanks for this in depth analysis.

Well, I wasn't talking about using it, but rather maybe bring them some 
ideas taken from our features that they don't have, and at least we 
could say we're an interested party. You know, introduce ourselves to 
these people, tie some links, possibly as a follow up to the AOM talk, 
as as a prelude to another :)

Regards,
Marc
