Re: [udig-devel] RFC : native support bundles for java advanced imaging
You got my +1; and thanks for a clear (if ambitious) proposal!

I have set aside this evening to try and tag 1.3.1 (in response to moovida's request last friday). After that master should be available to accept pull requests again.

Just updated the wiki page and added a license task. created two new
headlines in the proposal section to separate it into two bundles, one
for JAI and one for imageio. IMHO we can create an other change
request for the gdal stuff and go through that later. Any opinions?

License files, taken from the installers like
* LICENSE-jai_imageio.txt
* COPYRIGHT-jai_imageio.txt
* DISTRIBUTIONREADME-jai_imageio.txt
* ENTITLEMENT-jai_imageio.txt
* THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME-jai_imageio.txt
can be added to the build and should be included in the binaries as well.

Because of the paragraph (e) in DISTRIBUTIONREADME-<bundle>.txt (JAI
and imageio) we should add it to a feature definition where the
license text as well as the copyright agreement are shown up. I'm not
sure whether it would be required to have this agreement in the
installer too.

"(e) You agree to defend and indemnify Sun and its licensors from and
against any damages, costs, liabilities, settlement amounts and/or
expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with any
claim, lawsuit or action by any third party that arises or results
from the use or distribution of any and all Programs and/or
Redistributable."

Great idea!

Add the license checking to the tasks to do; that way we can vote on this as
a good idea - and the license checks won't be missed as the work progresses.

1. GDAL and ImageIO-ext license should be straight forward
2. The ECW license should be okay as we have an explicit license allowing it
to be distributed in client software (such as uDig). Packaging up the DLLs
in a plugin / fragment with this license would be nice and clear; we may
even be able to do a workbench startup dialog click through to supplement
the one in the installer.
3. The mac fragment was still used; although mac does ship with JAI  and
Java 3D.
4. Mac ImageIO-EXT + GDAL - We have also had in the past a mac build of
ImageIO-Ext and GDAL (mostly due to moovida compiling a patched version of
GDAL that was stable). My understanding is this is now resolved with the
more recent releases of GDAL we can use them out of the box.

Hello List,

I would like to discuss a proposal to add JAI native support for uDIG
out of the box without preparing and bundling a JRE before roll out
releases.

Please have a look at


Feedback is warmly welcome
Cheers
-Frank


PS: could that proposal be interesting for users (SDK) as well?
