Bug 186907

Sounds like a good idea: +1 from the Technology PMC.

I've created the SOC product in Technology.  As the SOC projects are setup we will have to add the appropriate components.

-M.

I think we should probably let the mentors decide. If a mentor feels that the SoC project directly contributes to an existing component then they may want to use that instead of creating a new one under SoC.  For those SoC projects that don't contribute to an existing project then we could create a component here.

Should we not have at least one component for "General" so there's a place to open bugs asking for more components to be added, or a place to put bugs that are cross-project within the overall SOC?

As Ian points out, this new product isn't listed (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?classification=Technology), and throws a RSOD* when you try to link to it directly: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=SOC

I would tend to agree that SOC projects that extend existing projects (eg., Mylar/Mylyn or OHF) ought to use their own existing bugzilla targets. Even tangential stuff could be combined with similar projects -- like the Eclipse Web Interface project could be listed under Equinox or ECF, if those teams are cool with that.

I've added a General component, as requested.  The inbox to watch is soc.general-inbox@eclipse.org
