Hi,
Rob S. had the challenge that our extraction of stacks (used for handling download of
runtimes and maven archetypes as defined in JDF/JBoss Way)
made it require common which because of its own internal dependencies have become a very
big mixed bag which after several attempts have not been
reduced (at least not significantly). Main problem been that core/common had hard
requirements on WTP, not just base Eclipse.
To fix/help on this issue of the common not really being common we've created
org.jboss.tools.foundation (see
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-14363)
Rob S. pushed this into base last night so it is in JBoss Tools 4.1 and in upcoming
versions of JBT we can add *real core* functionallities to this foundation library.
core suffix below just means "none ui" and have nothing to do with *real
core*, because real core functionalities could be any kind.
should we then instead of org.jboss.tools.foundation name use
org.jboss.tools.foundation.core assuming it contains core (none ui)
functionality, then we'll most likely have
org.jboss.tools.foundation.ui. org.jboss.tools.foundation functionality
would require both foundation.ui and foundation.core.
This would mach other eclipse tools like jdt, which has org.eclipse.jdt,
o.e.jdt.core, o.e.jdt.ui.

For now it just contains the BasePlugins with logging and the class that kept being
recreated File download via ECF.
This foundation now got tests, public API's and is intended to be destination for
actual common parts - stuff that has no big dependencies but we all
keep reinventing/reimplementing.
As with anything if you want something added/moved to this then open jira/PR - over time
we'll write up guidelines, limits and test requirements; but
for 4.1 we needed this to get a place central, examples, stacks, server and arquillian
can use *without* requiring big parts of xmodel and WTP.
Note: if you see problems caused by this introduction please open jira and link to
JBIDE-14363 and assign to Rob Stryker.
Thanks,
