Some components from the E4 incubator are proposing a move into the Eclipse Platform project. This page outlines the move plan and any steps that need to be performed as part of the move.
Contents
What is happening
- A set of bundles from e4 will seek to move into the Platform project (remaining under Eclipse TLP)
- The moved bundles, combined with existing mature bundles from Platform/JDT/PDE will be combined to produce a 4.0 release for July 28, 2010.
To do

- Source Code
- Remove "Incubating" term from bundle/feature names
- Change Unix group membership on moved projects to match destination component
- Election of new committers in destination project
- Build
- Move 4.0 builds to eclipse project download area
- Bugzilla
- Move bugs related to graduated components to destination component buckets (Platform UI/Runtime)
