| [technology-pmc] Triquetrum : using predefined api package names for a potential reference implementation |
|
Dear Technology PMC, This is to notify you about a requirement for a deviation of
standard package naming for a part of Triquetrum, i.e. not
following the advised org.eclipse.<project>... naming. We've
got an OK for this from Wayne, on the related incubation mail
thread (cfr below). For one of our lines of work, we will provide connectors to
external systems and to distributed resource managers (a.k.a.
grids etc). There is no standard Java API
source code available yet, let alone as an OSGi bundle, and we
would provide that in Triquetrum.
There is an advised binding definition though [2]. This requires using the package name org.ggf.drmaa for the API definition. The DRMAA group has expressed interest to potentially use this as the basis for a Java reference definition/implementation. For actual implementations for concrete DRMS we will be using the normal package naming rules. regards erwin [1] https://www.drmaa.org/ [2] https://redmine.ogf.org/documents/11 -------- Doorgestuurd bericht --------
Yes. Use the package name space that makes the best technical sense. However... please ensure that the package name does not infringe on trademarks held by others or that you follow the the rules established for their use. Also... bear in mind that I will completely forget that the conversation occurred and at some point in the future (likely when you're asking me to review an IP Log) I will almost certainly ask you about the package name (we really need to come up with a way to track this sort of thing). It's a good idea to just let the PMC know that you're doing this. They shouldn't push back, but it's good for them to know.
