Hi Nick,
I just learned about this today only.
We are taking look at this.
-Thanks

@Wayne, what's the official policy here?
It's the Planning Council's call.
Is anybody from Eclipse BIRT paying attention to this thread?

Maybe we need to consider removing BIRT 4.7.0 since it depends on versions of requirements that are not in the Photon simrel.

* EMF 2.13 is 1 year old (Oxygen).
The fact that BIRT hasn't even done a milestone build since June 2017 [0] means it might not even compile or run against these newer versions of its dependencies. It might be fine, but it might not. No one has done the diligence.
I did find there's a 4.8.0 master branch build but those are
not running tests, and a new CI build hasn't been run since March 13, 2018 (Photon.0.M6 +2 day) [1]. And it's still using WTP 3.9.0 (not 3.9.5 or 3.10.0.M6) and DTP 1.13 (not 1.14).
But if a project hasn't contributed new bits to the current simrel for M4, M5, M6, despite having new CI builds... should it be removed like TM/RSE was removed? The latest in simrel is 4.7.0.v201706, from the birt oxygen-interim site [2].
@Wayne, what's the official policy here?

So after looking into the 2 remaining projects that haven't switched
yet to Batik 1.9.1, It doesn't seem like they would be harmed by the
removal of 1.6/1.7 from the Photon Orbit (active) build.
- TM4E only has an optional dependency to Batik 1.7 or higher. The
usage of Batik is limited to
org.apache.batik.css.parser.Parser and
between 1.7 and 1.9.1, this class did not change API or make any major
modifications to that class.
- BIRT is still using the R20170307180635 (Neon.3) Orbit build and is
unlikely to switch for Photon.
As a result I'll be removing Batik 1.6 & 1.7 from the Orbit active
build. If anyone is opposed to such a move, or if issues arise, we can
easily undo the change.
Cheers,
