[GSoC] MyFaces CODI RAD status

[Martinconi Cosmin <co...@codebeat.ro>]

Hi everyone,

The GSoC program for this year is finished and you can find the current
status of the project at a new
location[1]. The current "0.9.0" version provides the functionality proposed
for this program, more
details about the commands supported can be found in the README file.

As part of the "apache-extra" project host the project doesn't completely
comply with the guidelines. The
problems come from:"1) not using Apache or an existing Apache project name
in your Apache Extras project
name, and 2) not using org.apache as the prefix". I am considering renaming
the packages as "org.apacheExtra",
any suggestion regarding this is welcomed.

There is more work to be done for the plugin to be complete and eventually
extend the functionality to other
CODI IDE plugins, and I will be happy to continue working and supporting any
Codi RAD functionality.

Special thanks to Gerhard, my mentor for this program.

Regards,
Cosmin

hi cosmin,

first of all thx for your work. i'm happy to hear that you plan to continue
with the project.

imo rule #1 is just for 3rd party projects to avoid that they use names of
apache projects (without the permission of the community) in order to
benefit from them.
(before apache-extras started we reserved several project names for the same
reason.)
if other pmc members have objections, we have to think about it.

however, we have to think about the future of this project:
1) keep it external at apache-extras (for now) and refactor package names
(in this case all myfaces committers would get access as with other
apache-extras projects related to myfaces)
2) it continues as myfaces sub-project (e.g. near to other tools like
archetypes)

esp. with 2) we have to think about a lot of topics (esp. about current and
future dependencies).

since this project (currently) depends on the success of forge itself (which
is still beta), i would keep it at apache extras. it's also easier for
cosmin to continue with his work, because he doesn't have commit rights
right now.
(to keep the community involved, we should continue to use the myfaces dev
list and wiki even though it is an external project.)

regards,
gerhard
