[jbosstools-dev] Moving parts of JBT to WebTools

[Mickael Istria]

Hi all,

There are some stable parts of JBoss Tools, such as some extension to 
HTML editors (and family), that would make sense to be upstream in 
Eclipse WebTools.
The benefits would be:
* Better Eclipse IDE, happier and more numerous users
* Move maintenance to a public and shared location where we may be able 
to get more people to help
* This might even reduce a bit our releng effort if some 
bundles/component fully move upstream.

I don't think this would have a negative impact on JBoss Tools. Indeed, 
I imagine users of JBoss Tools install it for WildFly, OpenShift, 
Hibernate or whatever JBoss/Red Hat technology support; not for things 
such as HTML edition.

Would that be doable for the Oxygen target? What features could 
relatively easily go upstream?

Cheers,
