Move project to Eclipse.org

[mickaelistria]

To allow inclusion of the project in vanilla Eclipse IDE, and to take advantage of the community of potential good contributors that are active at Eclipse.org, it would be interesting to consider making this project an Eclipse.org project.

Things to know:

• The project could remain hosted at GitHub (under eclipse/editorconfig-eclipse), or moved to [email protected]
• It would remain in incubation phase to allow more API and architectural changes
• It would be free to do builds and releases whenever it's useful, no need to follow the usual release train.

If you're interested, I'd be glad to assist you in making it happen.

@mickaelistria I'm interested to improve a lot this project like editor config that I have created https://github.com/ncjones/editorconfig-eclipse/issues/7#issuecomment-221390476 and completion, validation, hover are in my scope too.

But this project needs refactoring like https://github.com/ncjones/editorconfig-eclipse/issues/27

I'm waiting for answer of @ncjones otherwise I will create my own project.

@angelozerr Not sure how it related to the topic of this issue, but OK. For this I would advise to avoid creating new projects as much as possible: Eclipse extensions are already too scattered and are a maze for users to understand what's available, let's make the necessary things to have consistency instead.

I agree but I would like to commit my work somewhere with my EditorConfigEditor. I would like to set the well id now.

What do you think about "org.eclipse.editorconfig.core" and "org.eclipse.editorconfig.ui"?

[mickaelistria]

@angelozerr keep your code as a fork of this repository, and build/publish you local fork directly rather than starting up a new project. So it's the same project, you'd just happen to have the best branch. Suggested names are fine IMO.

Ok see my fork at https://github.com/angelozerr/editorconfig-eclipse/tree/refactor_for_eclipse_org where I have splitted plugin into core+ui

I will try to add my text editor for editorconfig soon

@mickaelistria yes this would be a great move. Just let me know what you need from me.

See https://www.eclipse.org/projects/handbook/#starting . Please keep me in touch of your progress and feel free to request any help.

Has anything already happened regarding the move? Especially since there are more recent versions of Eclipse.
