m2e-wtp's incubation is moving forward!

The web site has been set up at https://www.eclipse.org/m2e-wtp/
m2e-wtp's initial contribution has been greenlit by the IP Team to be uploaded to Eclipse's Git repository, under the parallel IP process.
m2e-wtp integration tests code is available at github
The issue tracker has been set up in Eclipse Bugzilla
A #m2e-wtp IRC chat room is opened at freenode
A mailing list for discussions about m2e-wtp developement has been set up.

Due to the m2e-wtp test code not being part of m2e-wtp's initial contribution, m2e-wtp is not built using Eclipse.org's Build infrastructure (similar to m2e).
Instead, Jenkins jobs have been set up under Red Hat's internal build farm.
Currently, m2e-wtp compiles correctly against Helios, Indigo and Juno. Integration tests are run against Indigo.
m2e-wtp is built continuously and CI builds are pushed to a public p2 repository hosted by jboss.org : http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/requirements/m2eclipse/m2e-wtp-indigo/
Some tests fail randomly. We need to stabilize them and start from solid foundations before going forward

IBM wishes to keep Helios backward compatibility. m2e-wtp currently compiles against Helios, but needs to be tested against it. However, its unlikely the existing tests will pass in Helios due to some slight changes in behaviour.
IBM is willing to perform these backward compatibility tests on their infrastructure and eventually contribute patches back to m2e-wtp and m2e.
not discussed : backward compatibility / coexistence with the current m2eclipse-wtp install base

Our objective is to join the Juno SR1 release train on 28/09/2012.
According to the Juno SR1 calendar, we should target RC1+3 and prepare readyness for wed. 22/08
we'll work on a release plan (using m2e's release plan as an example),
m2e-wtp 0.16.0 will focus on stabilization and its main new features will be around the Eclipse to Maven project conversion area (converts eclipse settings to their maven plugin counterpart)
