>> contributions:
>>
>> - jee : Remove legacy terminal.view , optionally add the new
>> tcf.terminals.view - Bug
>> 462087<https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=462087>
>>
>> - reporting : Remove legacy terminal.view , optionally add
>> the new tcf.terminals.view - Bug
>> 462089<https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=462089>
>>
>> - parallel : Optionally add
>> org.eclipse.tcf.te.terminals.feature AND
>> org.eclipse.tcf.te.terminals.rse.feature
>>
>> - cpp : Optionally add org.eclipse.tcf.te.terminals.feature
>> AND org.eclipse.tcf.te.terminals.rse.feature
>>
>> For the must-have changes in jee and reporting, we have created bugs
>> and Gerrit changesets.
>> Since I am an epp committer, I think I could apply these for you, but
>> I would like the package maintainer's OK before I do that.
>>
>> I would strongly recommend also applying the optional changes (adding
>> the TCF Terminals View) such that users can see the new view and
>> provide feedback.
>> Without doing this, the Terminal view would be GONE in the respective
>> packages in M6 and only reappear in M7 once the move has been
>> completed.
>> I can also apply these changes for you if I get your OK.
>>
>> Please let me know how you want to proceed, and if there's any
>> questions/concerns !

>> Hi Package Maintainers,
>>
>> You might be aware that based on the original TM Terminal view, the
>> TCF Project has come up with a much enhanced terminal:
>> https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/tcf-terminals
>>
>> In order to simplify code adoption and contributions, we want to
>> restructure the codebase and re-unite it with the original TM
>> codebase.
>> The result will be called "TM Terminal 4.0" but will contain the
>> related TM _and_ TCF code in a single, small git repository.
>> Here is the respective restructuring review:
>> https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.cdt.tcf/reviews/move-tcf-terminals-code-tm-project
>>
>> Now unfortunately the review is scheduled to complete by April 1
>> which
>> is after M6, but we would like to give adopters
>> a preview of the new Terminal with M6 in order to get more feedback.
>> Thus here's what we are planning:
>>
>> - The TM project will no longer contribute its
>> org.eclipse.tm.terminal.* to the simrel
>>
>> - Instead, the TCF project will contribute
>> org.eclpse.tm.terminal.*_4.0 to the simrel (already using the *new*
>> namespace).
>>
>> This affects the "jee" and "reporting" packages which currently
>> directly use those features:
>>
>> org.eclipse.epp.packages/packages>grep org.eclipse.tm.terminal
>> */feature.xml
>> org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.feature/feature.xml: <import
>> feature="org.eclipse.tm.terminal"/>
>> org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.feature/feature.xml: <import
>> feature="org.eclipse.tm.terminal.ssh"/>
>> org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.feature/feature.xml: <import
>> feature="org.eclipse.tm.terminal.telnet"/>
>> org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.feature/feature.xml: <import
>> feature="org.eclipse.tm.terminal.view"/>
>> org.eclipse.epp.package.reporting.feature/feature.xml: <import
>> feature="org.eclipse.tm.terminal"/>
>> org.eclipse.epp.package.reporting.feature/feature.xml: <import
>> feature="org.eclipse.tm.terminal.ssh"/>
>> org.eclipse.epp.package.reporting.feature/feature.xml: <import
>> feature="org.eclipse.tm.terminal.telnet"/>
>> org.eclipse.epp.package.reporting.feature/feature.xml: <import
>> feature="org.eclipse.tm.terminal.view"/>
>>
>> If you do not take any action, you will simply see the new "4.0"
>> version of those features from TCF, giving you the new tabbed
>> terminal
>> view.
>> If you want, you can take the following two actions as soon as TCF
>> starts contributing the new namespace:
>>
>> - You may REMOVE "org.eclipse.tm.terminal" since that
>> feature
>> is auto-required by "org.eclipse.tm.terminal.view" ; that would allow
>> updating the widget without updating the view in the future.
>>
>> - You may ADD "org.eclipse.tm.terminal.local" since that
>> feature gives you the new local terminal (console) prompt
>>
>> - You may want to set the minimum version range to 4.0 to
>> ensure you get the new features
>>
>> - You may want to review the terminal whether it fits your
>> needs and provide feedback.
>>
>> Of course other packages are more than welcome to also consume the
>> new
>> Terminal - all relevant docs are in the marketplace entry cited
>> above.
>>
>> For now this is just a heads up;
>> We are planning to add the new "TM Namespace" features to the TCF
>> simrel contribution over the course of the week.
>> I will send another notification once the new features are available.
>>
>> Please let me know of any concerns or questions !
>> Or comment directly on the Move Review if you want.
