Hey,
I believe this will end up affecting us too.
Opened jira for this: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3384
For most this is just a repackaging that don't affect code, but for Fuse
Tooling
which currently rely on org.eclipse.tm.internal.terminal this will
require changes.

> - 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

> 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

> 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.
