<h3>About e4</h3>
- <p>e4 is an incubator for community exploration of future technologies for the Eclipse Platform.
- The project has three principal aims:
+ <p>e4 is an incubator project for community exploration of future technologies for the Eclipse Platform. Originally this project was used for the development of the underlying engine of the Eclipse 4 platform which concluded with the release of Eclipse 4. After this the project incubated the new E4 Rich Client Tooling used to visually create the Application Model. This project also graduated and is now part of Eclipse Platform. You can find the E4 tooling in the <a href="http://download.eclipse.org/releases/mars">Release Train repository</a>.
+ The projects that are currently cooking are:
<ul>
- <li>Simplify the Eclipse programming model: This will reduce development and maintenance costs and enable a larger developer community to leverage the platform in their own Eclipse-based applications.</li>
- <li>Enable the platform for use on emerging web-based runtime technologies: This will ensure the platform remains a compelling and viable application framework in a rapidly changing web technology landscape, and it will allow e4-based applications to leverage web technologies, while remaining insulated from specific technology choices that may quickly become obsolete.</li>
- <li>Broaden participation in development of the platform: This reduces the risks associated with building on a platform largely funded from a single source. Having a large and diverse group of commercial backers, will ensure the platform remains vibrant and viable over the long term. </li>
+ <li>Eclipse Spies - Spies are tools that enable you to look inside the Eclipse engine while it is running. Invaluable for RCP Developers;</li>
+ <li>Eclipse Smart Project Importer Framework - Tooling to ease the import of projects into the Eclipse Workspace.</li>
</ul>

+ Release plans and other information about this project.
+ </li>
+ <li>Currently, when importing a project, users are facing the difficult choices
+ of what project they are importing and how to import it. The various
+ technologies involved in a project can easily be detected by some automated
+ check, such as presence of specific files, some content in a file or files with
+ a specific extension. The purpose of the framework is to use such interesting data
+ to automatically detect the nature of the project and automatically configure it at
+ best, with very minimal effort from the user.
