FYI - here's another place we can consider stepping up to provide support
for the Java Enterprise world, as IBM steps back.

Hi,

There basically always is, but there's not really a plan published (see
same project site). I got the idea a lot of the focus at Red Hat these days
is to support the AngularJS tooling that Red Hat is working on, but I'm not
100% sure.

Nick from Red Hat (https://github.com/nickboldt) is the biggest committer
at the moment for WTP: https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/webtools/who

This gives some overview of the activity per repo:

https://github.com/eclipse?utf8=✓&q=webtools

Specifically for Java EE the following are interesting I think:

* https://github.com/eclipse/webtools.javaee/commits/master
* https://github.com/eclipse/webtools.servertools/commits/master
* https://github.com/eclipse/webtools.jsf/commits/master

Quickly glancing through the commits I don't think even JSF 2.2 (Java EE 7)
support has yet be worked on, and certainly not JSF 2.3.

I've bcc'ed the PMC and committers Nick and John.

@Elson, could you perhaps shed some light on the EE 7/EE 8 support plans
for WTP?

Kind regards,
Arjan Tijms
