Again: JDT is just fine. It is not dying.
Yes the chart screenshots are from our website. But I can also confirm that the chart screenshots show only the data from the the top-level JDT project. It is not including the sub-projects. We have someone working on fixing that now. Here is a summary of the commits since June:
+-------------------+---------+ | project | commits | +-------------------+---------+ | eclipse.jdt | 8 | | eclipse.jdt.core | 165 | | eclipse.jdt.debug | 18 | | eclipse.jdt.ui | 34 | +-------------------+---------+
As I said all the work is happening in the Java 9 branch, and are not being included. Take a look at the link I included in my original post, which shows 108 commits in jdt.core just in the last month.
Re: New and Noteworthy, as I said the team is focused on Java 9....there will be lots of content there when they have something.
Re: mailing list - Mailing lists are Eclipse are not like many other open source projects. They only use them for internal project conversations. (Yes, I know that's sort of weird.) If you want to find where the action is at Eclipse, you don't look at the mailing lists. Look in Bugzilla. I'll try to find the right query and link it here to show what I mean.
Re: Website: Yes, that is totally bogus. Yes, the project doesn't pay a lot of attention to that. That's at least partially because we focus on [1] as the landing page for users.
