Rename Mylyn Top Level Project Proposal

This document is a proposal to rename the Mylyn Top Level Project.

Mylyn the technology vs. Mylyn the project

  • Mylyn exists as a set of Eclipse projects which are producing software which can be installed in Eclipse.
  • Mylyn exists as an Eclipse top-level project which is supposed to provide a common home for Eclipse projects building software in/for the ALM space

Problem Statement

  • The Mylyn top-level project failed to attract ALM related projects at Eclipse
    • EGit, Subversive, Hudson
  • Some existing contributors do not want to use Mylyn technology and do not want to be hosted under the Mylyn brand
    • EGerrit proposal


Proposal

Mylyn the top-level project will be renamed to Lifecycle Tools (LT), dropping the Mylyn brand. Participation in ALM is not about adopting the Mylyn technology. Each participating project is expected to nominate a representative to the Lifecycle Tools PMC. Representative are expected to participate in all PMC activities except self-managing the projects they represent.


New top-level Lifecycle Tools project

  • Mylyn (subprojects merged, MFT & R4E archived, see 2015 Restructuring)
  • Intent
  • WikiText
  • VEX

Potential Candidate:

  • EGit
  • JGit
  • Subversive
  • Hudson
  • Tycho
  • M2E
  • EGerrit
