<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Yes, in general, I think it would make sense to move upstream
JBossTools parts which are not Red Hat specific. But technically
it's not so easy. For example our HTML editor uses a lot of shared
code from base/common and jst components. Validation, navigation,
Palette, etc. All these are our internal JBossTools frameworks
which we havily use in different JBossTools components. So we
can't just move HTML editor to Eclipse without moving a lot of
common JBossTools code. In the past we actually discussed if we
can move some our stuff like JavaEE stuff to Eclipse but faced the
same issues.<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks.<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
There are some stable parts of JBoss Tools, such as some extension
to HTML editors (and family), that would make sense to be upstream
in Eclipse WebTools.<br>
The benefits would be:<br>
* Better Eclipse IDE, happier and more numerous users<br>
* Move maintenance to a public and shared location where we may be
able to get more people to help<br>
* This might even reduce a bit our releng effort if some
bundles/component fully move upstream.<br>
<br>
I don't think this would have a negative impact on JBoss Tools.
Indeed, I imagine users of JBoss Tools install it for WildFly,
OpenShift, Hibernate or whatever JBoss/Red Hat technology support;
not for things such as HTML edition.<br>
<br>
Would that be doable for the Oxygen target? What features could
relatively easily go upstream?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
