Phil Muldoon has already packaged EMF, GEF, and VE for our RHDS

You two should discuss it. It would be great if you could shepherd
these into Fedora Extras!
Dave Orme, the leader of the VEP project over at eclipse.org, has also
expressed interest in this. So CC there.
The big thing is to remove the SWING components from VEP. No free
implementation support for that in Fedora (yet). That would leave SWT.
The other architectural concern is how VEP draws the bean in the editor.
Basically it starts a remote JVM, draws the widgets in the remote bean,
then screen scrapes from that JVM and paints them in the editor. Are
there implications with this relating to GCJ? Maybe with gij this might
not be an issue.
If I remember correctly, all three projects have associated releng
plug-ins (this is how I packaged them before). Is this a viable approach
for Fedora Extras? Should we define a different (jpackage-like?)
approach here?
Are you asking, should we use the releng "plugins" to build them?
Assuming you mean that, I think we should. Otherwise we're creating
a redundant second build system. JPackage generally uses whatever build
system the upstream project uses - be that ant, maven or whatever.
Could you post (to me, or to the list) the .spec files you have done for
RHDS?
