Re: [science-pmc] TeXlipse will probably not make the release

[Wayne Beaton <wayne.beaton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Known problem. This is on my short list: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=509307

Don't panic about the licenses. By their nature, the works with dependencies must be installed by the user, so they have to agree to the license.

Well... mostly don't panic. How you access the content needs to be sorted out. In general, if you're doing the equivalent of calling the via CLI then we're probably okay.

Does Texlipse *directly* call all seven of those? i.e. does it make direct CLI calls to an executable from every one of those packages?

Wayne,

Doing as you requested I’ve added «This is a WORKSWITH request» as a comment when the source code is requested, it keeps bouncing asking for the source, so I’ll just leave it at that for now.

Best regards,
Torkild
