Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBDS-3285:
-------------------------------------------

So lets get that moving. 

* Do a PR for the TP to include the necessary incubation bits.
* Create PR for the relavant repos which add's a bundle for each of these easymport layers.

Remaining question is how these bundles gets included - wether we need a feature for every "type" or should create a overarching feature requiring them all for them to be available ? 

I'm probably most for just having the most "aggregating" feature in each of the components require it so easymport will get installed automatically when using almost any part of JBoss Tools.

This way would also allow integration stack to make use of this if need be.

> As a Java EE developer, in some cases using Git for the first time (or only familiar with command line git), I find it very difficult to clone and import a project correctly into JBDS, having the appropriate facets configured, if it has a maven pom.xml, correctly setting the build path, where it is easily deployable to a localhost EAP instance.  
> The mission here is to make the Git experience much more user friendly.
> Progress/Status (updated progressively):

> Easymport framework has been contributed to e4 (Platform Incubator): in http://git.eclipse.org/c/e4/org.eclipse.e4.ui.git/tree/bundles , see all org.eclipse.e4.ui.importer* . You can install it in your IDE from http://download.eclipse.org/e4/snapshots/org.eclipse.e4.ui . The entry-points are either the new menu "File > Import projects from folder..." or from legacy import wizard under "General > Local folder(s) as project into workspace".
> We have working extensions that allow to import Java EE & Maven: https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-playground/tree/master/plugins (install from http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/builds/staging/jbosstools-playground_master/all/repo/ ) , that we plan to contribute upstream when projects such as m2e and WTP when the framework seems mature enough.
> There is not yet an easy link from the EGit wizard to the Easymport one, nor an easy link from SVN wizard to Easymport.
> There is almost no chance that this can be included in Eclipse IDE for Mars release in June. But we could already think about including it in next JBoss Tools and JBoss Developer Studio milestones, so that we'd get more feedback. At this point, feedback from users and adopters is the key point.
> I invite you to give it a try, and to report issues here.
