Hello Javier,
thanks for all your work on this!
I'm copying the dsdp-tm-dev list in order to keep the Community
informed and in the loop. The Community can ask additional questions or
make suggestions.
In order to propose this to the PMC, I'll need to know about the
dependencies:
- Does your contribution depend on RSE or any other components
(except EMF)? What parts of EMF (SDO, XSD)?
- I suppose the Sample View depends on the Zeroconf engine, which
depends on the EMF Model, right?
- Did you prepare for any APIs or extension points where users
could plug in their own protocols or models?
I suppose that some of this information will eventually need to go into
some sort of documentation. Remember that all of Eclipse is more about
Frameworks and Exemplary tools, than full-blown applications
Then I'll need to ask the IP/Legal questions:
- Did you write the code your own from scratch or did you use any
legacy code?
- Did you reference / include / copy any 3rd party materials? If
yes, under which license did you receive such materials?
- Are you authorized by your company to make the contribution under
the EPL?
Regarding the code, you'll need to put proper EPL Copyright Notices
into all your source files, like these:
http://www.eclipse.org/legal/copyrightandlicensenotice.php
and you'll need to add about.html to the root of your plugins, like
these:
http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl/about.php
see http://www.eclipse.org/legal for more information. These copyright
notices have to be in the code _before_ we can submit it to EMO legal
review.
Of course it's up to you to attach the code on bugzilla before doing
all this, to enable earlier community review.
But actual EMO Review - and thus the start of the submission process -
requires these. Some more guidelines regarding the code are here:
http://www.eclipse.org/legal/committerguidelines.php
these guidelines are more for the committers reviewing your code, but
it'll be good for you to know these as well. The most important of
these are that your code must not contain profanity, and that
cryptography, patents and other "legal" things need to be documented.
Thanks again,
Martin

Hi Martin,
I have at the moment a functional
beta
version for the service discovery. It shows how services can be
discovered
and provides a view displaying the available services and their
specifications.
I think it will be really useful to
start testing the service discovery engine and also it will allow
developers to start working on the device implementation of zeroconf
servers.
The solution is based on EMF but the
architecture is modularised enough so it is be really easy to
improve/substitute
any of the components.
The original submission will contain
the following plugins:
* Zeroconf engine
Containing the different transport
implementations
and the APIs to instantiate them. At the moment only UDP has been
implemented
(mainly for testing), but new transports can be easily added by
implementing
an interface and making it available through a factory.
It also contains the zeroconf
protocol
implementation, encode and decode of the zeroconf packets and
population
of the model as well as a public API to perform the actions.
* EMF model
EMF model created from the XML
schema
I posted in the bugzilla entry.
* Sample View
A view providing basic manipulation
of the engine (discovery/refresh/delete) and showing the discovered
services
and their attributes.
This view is provided only as a
proof
of concept and it's not intended to be the final implementation.
Porting
the model from one view to another will be quite easy using the EMF
facilities.
My idea is to provide the beta
version
through an attachment to the autodetect bugzilla entry, is it then
covered
by EPL ?
Can you give some guidance about the
submission process ? In the meantime I'll be discussing the submission
with my team and the legal department.
Many thanks,
Javier Montalvo Orús
