Re: [jbosstools-dev] JAX-RS, JPA and JSF Maven configurators moving to m2e-wtp@eclipse
p.s. removed non-public email list from public one.
Can those changes really be part of SR2 release train ? I thought only bugfixes made it
into them ?
I had expected these to be a Keppler feature?
....and with all this greatness - can we still add our own listeners to these events and
adjust configs are is there some evil possible limitation now ?

Hi all,
we decided to contribute the JAX-RS, JPA and JSF Maven configurators back to the m2e-wtp
project (https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13048) where we believe they truly belong
:
- JAX-RS, JPA and JSF are WTP components
- current JBoss Tools coupling is really light, when it exists.
I'm currently preparing the initial contribution by changing the projects namespaces,
making them build without any JBoss Tools dependencies, before submitting Contribution
Questionnaires (CQ) on Eclipse IPZilla.
Since Snjeza and I, contributors on the aforementioned plugins, are already committers on
m2e-wtp, the IP clearance should be pretty straightforward.
General goal is to release the migrated plugins from their new home @eclipse.org next
February, as part of m2e-wtp 0.17.0, along the Juno SR2 release train.
JBT 4.0 and JBDS 6.0 will still embed the JBoss version of the plugins next december, but
the plan is to make them shutdown gracefully once m2e-wtp 0.17.0 is active. I have not
decided yet if we should make the features updateable by their m2e-wtp counterparts yet
(but there's a good chance that's what we'll do).
As a consequence, JAX-RS, JPA and JSF configurators enter in maintenance mode in JBIDE :
bug can still be fixed in JBT, but new features should be requested in bugzilla
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=M2E-WTP)
