[jbosstools-dev] RFE: JDT module or put in common ?

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

Hi,

Snjezana have been working on https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-8548 (easy Attach to Remote debugger)
and Fred is about to work on https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-8972  (copy classpath library to project)
which both are things that actually should exist/be contributed to Eclipse JDT at some point.

The question is where do we put them today ?

Looking at existing modules putting it in common under a new plugin named org.jboss.tools.common.jdt.* is probably the best fit,
but since common is also much more than that its not the best - its actually mostly related to xmodel than anything else - and 
I could see the interest in installing these JDT features without having to require all of xmodel and its editors extensions installed.

The alternative I see is creating a new module (sigh) named jdt with org.jboss.tools.jdt.* as its base and 
we create a matching feature named "JBoss Tools JDT - Extensions for Eclipse JDT" 

I'm leaning to the JDT module approach, but since i'm really not a fan of adding more and more modules without
a good reason I would like to hear if anyone has convincing arguments for or against this move ?

Thanks,
