[orbit-dev] Interested in Contributing LPG v1.1

[Christian Damus <cdamus@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The MDT UML2-OCL component (formerly
known as EMFT OCL) currently includes version 1.1 of a parser generator
run-time library from the LPG ("LALR Parser Generator") project
at SourceForge, which I would like to contribute to Orbit.  I know
of at least one other Eclipse project in the Europa group that is interested
in using this library.

I think I understand that, since this
library was already approved by EMO for OCL's 1.0 release, it doesn't need
any additional approval for

  1) Contribution to Orbit
  2) Consumption from Orbit by
the OCL project

However, this library was IP-approved
before IPzilla was instituted.  Do I need to run it through that process
in order to meet Orbit's traceability requirements?

Also, this case touches on some of the
bundle-naming concerns mentioned on the Orbit wiki.  LPG consists
of a single package lpg.lpgjavaruntime, but I think a more appropriate
bundle name would be based on the SourceForge project name:  net.sourceforge.lpg
or the Orbit project name:  org.eclipse.orbit.lpg.  I, personally,
prefer the latter because it wouldn't look like I am assuming somebody
else's identity.  Do the current Orbit committers have a concensus,
yet, on the recommended approach? 

More information about the LPG project
can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/lpg.

Thanks,

Christian
