The state of m2eclipse: project creation review

[Jason van Zyl-2]

Just letting folks know that I've been working on the proposal for
project creation review over the last couple weeks, I've submitted the
slides, and the review is schedule for May 20th. We made a great deal
of progress with WTP, AJDT, and we're coming quickly with PDE and even
the start of some cool Flex integration. The mailing lists are very
active and we had over 20k downloads in April of the m2eclipse plugin
so I think we're positioned very well for the review.

Thanks to everyone for participating. I think the outcome of the
review will be positive.

You can look on the project page to get the slides:

Thanks,

Jason

proposal-slides look very good and promising.

just for interest: from the eclipse side, will it be a decision either
for m2e or q4e? or could it be possible that both projects will be
reviewed positive?

i tried out q4e, but i think m2eclipse overall is more stable, faster
and better.

Hi,

I have just seen that both q4e and m2eclipse project have been
approved. Could you give us a status about this "strange" situation ?

Regards

It is actually the first time two competing projects have been review  
and been accepted, but for certain only one project is going to leave  
the incubator. The projects will either merge, or users will decide  
which one graduates from the incubator.

People develop abstractions by generalizing from concrete examples.
Every attempt to determine the correct abstraction on paper without
actually developing a running system is doomed to failure. No one
is that smart. A framework is a resuable design, so you develop it by
looking at the things it is supposed to be a design of. The more  
examples
you look at, the more general your framework will be.
