There has been discussion around the naming/positioning of the elements in the Helios repository intended to be added to people's target platforms. In the past teams have contributed "SDKs" to the EclipseRT Target Platform Components category. This has caused confusion as many people in the community think of SDKs as something that gets installed into the IDE. In an effort to clarify the situation for users the RT PMC decided that the elements of the EclipseRT Target Platform Components category in the Helios repo should appear as XXX Target Components So, for example, "ECF Target Components", "RAP Target Components" etc. This gives clarity to the consumers and accurately positions the elements as something that is used to compose a target platform. We ask that projects contributing to the Target Platform category in Helios change the *name* of their contributed features as soon as possible so that the RC repos can be tested for consistency. NOTE that you do NOT have to change the feature ID or feature structure, just the human readable feature name (likely in the feature.properties files)
For ECF the situation is that we do not make a distinction feature-wise between target components and exemplary UI that can be installed into the SDK. However, until we come up with a better feature separation, IMO it is fine if we rename "Eclipse Communication Framework SDK" into "Eclipse Communication Framework Target Components" and ignore the UI parts. +1 anybody?
