Contribute vscode-trace-extension repository to the Eclipse CDT-cloud project

[bhufmann]

Hello,

The Trace Compass team would like to contribute the vscode-trace-extension [1] to the Eclipse CDT.cloud project so that the further development can be done under the Eclipse open source foundation. The Eclipse CDT.cloud is already the home of the main components that are used by the vscode-trace-extension.

The goal of this project is to provide the trace-viewer capabilities as VS Code plugin so that all VS Code compatible tools like Theia, VSCodium, VS Code etc. can install and take advantage of the trace viewer functionality, and not "just" Theia based products. There has been also an increasing interest of this VS Code plug-in in the community.

The vscode-trace-extension repository only contains code to integrate with VS Code APIs. All core, trace-viewing source code are provided by the Theia-independent components of theia-trace-extension [2] which are deployed to NPM [3] and [4].

Issue tracker [5] was created to inform the contributors to 'vscode-trace-extension' about this intention.

I'd like to start the contribution process in the coming week(s). Please let me know if you have any questions and concerns.

Best Regards
Bernd
