Engine & history Engine –Link between components –Part of MVC architecture History –EMF generated –Decision making mechanism –Version comparisons –Branching –Team is still devided

The Goal

Problems faced Communications between two sides Cooperation between two sides Understand the requirement from the customers Thinking the same way Divison between som e project components Learning Eclipse plug-in frameworks
