IMPORTANT BREAKING CHANGES - October 2015

Cloud Foundry Integration for Eclipse is now an Eclipse project under Eclipse Cloud Development, and it has been renamed Eclipse Tools for Cloud Foundry (CFT):

https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ecd.cft

This move will increase the exposure of the tools to a larger Eclipse user-base, and further enhance its features through additional contributions and feedback from a wider community.

New Repository

As part of moving to Eclipse, the tools are now hosted in a new Eclipse GitHub repository:

https://github.com/eclipse/cft

Breaking Bundle and Extension Point Changes

To comply with Eclipse project naming conventions, ALL bundle names and extension point IDs have been renamed in the new repository. This means that new versions of the tools based off the new GitHub repository will NOT be backward compatible with any older versions of the tools.

New CLA

CLA governing third-party contributions in the new repository have also changed, and the new tools will be dual-licensed: Apache License 2.0 and EPL. All third-party contributors will be required to sign a new CLA before Pull Requests are accepted and merged in the new repository. Please follow the links above for further information.

Third-Party Pull Requests in New Repository

Transition is still ongoing, and the new repository will continue to be changed frequently in the first three weeks of October 2015. It is advisable NOT to submit new Pull Requests to the new repository until after October 20 2015 as it may require re-submission due to merge conflicts. Please check the new repository README for updates.

Update Sites

For the time being, the update site URLs remain unchanged:

Current release:

http://dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/cloudfoundry

Nightly build:

http://dist.springsource.com/snapshot/TOOLS/cloudfoundry/nightly

However, once again, as we move forward with nightly builds based off the new repository and publish new releases, they will NOT be backward compatible with the old tools. We plan on implementing detection mechanisms such that users will be warned if the new versions of the tools, whether from the nightly or release sites, or the Eclipse marketplace, are being installed in targets that already contain the old version.

Ongoing Transition

We will no longer be accepting Pull Requests, or maintaining any of the branches in the old repository:

https://github.com/cloudfoundry/eclipse-integration-cloudfoundry

Any new enhancements and bug fixes will be pushed to the new repository.

The transition is still ongoing so we will continue to update the new repository README as new changes occur.

Raising Bugs and Feature Requests

As CFT is now an Eclipse project, bugs and new feature requests should be raised via bugzilla:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/

We will migrate some of the existing bugs and feature requests to bugzilla as well.

Next Release - November 2015

The tentative release date for the first version of CFT based off the new names and IDs, and the new repository, is the first week of November, 2015.
