Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Layout and licenses

[Thomas Watson <tjwatson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know anything about why gemini.jpa or gef3d are getting added to the repo, but this made me think about your question:

"If these bundles are in the repository, shouldn't the owning projects be Juno particpants?"

I don't know the correct answer, but it strikes me as odd that we allow non-eclipse third party dependencies to be added to the repo, but when it comes to a dependency on another project's bundles we force the other owning project to participate fully in the release.  What if the project does not want to participate?  What if there is an IP acceptable alternative (non-eclipse) project that could be used?  Would we prefer the use of that non-eclipse third party technology over the eclipse one simple because the owning eclipse project does not want to participate in the Juno release?  It seems to me that such cases should be treated as any other third party dependency and we should not force the owning project to participate in the release.

Hey folks. I'm going through the layout and licenses reports today.

I've already opened a couple of bugs regarding missing about files and am just starting into the licenses. These issues need to be addressed before any reviews can be declared successful. Note that these are very basic requirements that are independent of participation in the simultaneous release. If you need help, please ask.

There a Gemini JPA bundle in the repository. I'm also seeing a GEF3D bundle. Why? If these bundles are in the repository, shouldn't the owning projects be Juno particpants? Or did I miss a memo?

org.eclipse.gemini.jpa_1.0.99.v20120225-1927.jar
org.eclipse.gef3d_0.8.1.v20120528-0244.jar

Who owns these bundles:

org.eclipse.rephraserengine.core_8.0.0.201205300709.jar
org.eclipse.rephraserengine.ui_8.0.0.201205300709.jar

(I'll guess tools.ptp.photran based on the version number).
