Re: [jbosstools-dev] Moving parts of JBT to WebTools

Hi, 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. Thanks.
