Contribute to Eclipse Foundation

[jeeeyul]

I love to contribute my extensions to Eclipse Foundation. But I have some worries.
PDE-Tools contains a lot of Xtend codes:

• Xtend let me develop very fast. It is primary reason that makes me keep independent contribution while I work for my primary job.
• I think codes which contributed to eclipse must be in pure Java. So other can reverse engineer it easily.
• Xtend is not suitable for large scale project since it costs relatively long build time and unstable incremental build.
• PDE-tools uses XCore to generate it's model.

I think, to contribute my codes, I should have to convert all codes into Java and legacy EMF generator. Am I correct?

Using Xtend shouldn't necessarily be a problem. But the best way to find out would be to ask the PDE team themselves. The best way to do that would be to post a message on the pde-dev mailing list.

Since xcore requires new runtime library, I removed xcore and adopt old fashioned original ecore facility :(
