Dear Subclipse Team,
We were pleased to see that Subclipse reached release 1.0.0. In near future
we also plan to release version 1.0.0 of Subversive. What is the next? It's
pretty important question for both our teams. I think that we have similar
aims - provide high quality SVN support for Eclipse. If so the natural next
step is joining to eclipse.org. Joining to eclipse.org is one of the most
important goals for us and now we are under discussion with eclipse.org
staff. It's not a secret that many people in community want to see SVN
support in standard Eclipse distribution. I think that it's very likely that
eclipse.org will integrate SVN plugin in near future. Such step will be
really important for all SVN community, but from the other side require a
lot of efforts. If we will join our forces we can reach this goal faster and
at the end can deliver more quality tool. Do you see the space for our
teams' cooperation? I think that it should be positive answer, because the
only serious argument against it is different goals (the rest can be
resolved quickly), but it's not our case.
As we write in our message to community we consider Subversive as solid
open-source ground for Polarion commercial tools, because only having this
ground we can reach the success. Please understand that our commercial tools
are not contradicted to our open-source goals. If anybody has questions or
doubts - please feel free to ask and we will be happy to explain all aspects
of our vision.
Please feel free to use my contacts listed below.
