Hi all,
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.
The benefits would be:
* Better Eclipse IDE, happier and more numerous users
* Move maintenance to a public and shared location where we may be able
to get more people to help
* This might even reduce a bit our releng effort if some
bundles/component fully move upstream.
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.
Would that be doable for the Oxygen target? What features could
relatively easily go upstream?
Cheers,
