Hello Mika,
What kind of users would you expect to use these binaries?
Can every ordinary user get such a Nokia terminal easily, and use
it for programming?
Can ordinary users download these libraries from some Open Nokia
server right now?
I'm wondering whether the Open Source Eclipse Framework is the
right place for such vendor specific programs. In my understanding, the charter
of the Eclipse foundation is to create Frameworks and Exemplary tools to
support vendors creating their specific tooling.
As such, I'd rather not expect vendor specific binaries in Open
Source. There is an exception, of course, if you think that these libraries
would provide a very good example to show ISVs how the APIs can be used in
order to extend the framework. Was that your intention?
Your license also talks about "Source Form". Would you
include the sources for your libs with the contribution?
The license does read similar to the EPL. Do you see a chance that
Nokia would proivde these libs under EPL?
Cheers,

Hi,
I would like
to get your vote to include two binaries to MTJ so that we can start due
diligence process.
Those
binaries are CONA.jar and COnnJNI.dll and they are used to connect MTJ to Nokia
PC suite, which is needed in deploying applications to Nokia terminals.
I.e. without
these binaries it is not possible to move application from Eclipse to a
terminal.
Those
binaries are owned by Nokia and copyright text is listed below.
