Hi,

just FYI, the DSDP Target Management Project is planning to bring the
Jakarta Commons/Net library to Eclipse. We have already initiated the
EMO review process in May, and since the Apache license is deemed
compatible, we hope that to complete soon.

We'll be happy to have Jakarta Commons/Net live in the Orbit project
instead of ur own, if others are interested too.

Jakarta Commons/Net brings well-established implementations for Telnet,
FTP, rlogin / rcp and other basic protocols, and Ant tasks for using
these protocols are already part of Eclipse so a drop-in of commons/net
would immediately give more power to Ant too.

Thanks,
Martin Oberhuber
Target Management Project Lead.

do we have to go through the legal process for Apache code? I didn't
think that we do?

Orbit should bring all of Jakarta commons across - different projects
use different parts of it, so I'm not sure what the right packaging
solution is.

Grahame,

I think a plugin per jar is mandatory.
To make them available via Update Manager it would be neccessary to
provide a feature per plugin.
In addition features for larger logical groups of features could be
provided.

You have to go thorugh EMO legal review and approval for all thrid-party
code which includes Apache code. You may take comfort in the fact that many
of the Apache components listed are already for use in the context of TPTP
project, possibly by other projects as well. In TPTP, we have been bundling
Apache Commons Logging, Log4J and some others. For these packages, the
overhead of extending use of other Eclipse project should low on the EMO
Legal and hence possiblity of quicker turnaround.

You still have to do whatever it says you have to do (I don't want to be

The IP process has been evolving to make things easier for people and

Hello Sri,

As we are going to set up Eclipse projects as containers for
Jakarta Commons Net and ORO, I'm looking for "templates" or
other pointers that help me doing so.

I'm currently looking at the org.apache.ant project, so what
I'm planning to do is
- check in the original *.jar files,
- create and checkin *.zip files to hold the sources
(need to create new ones to factor out examples we don't
want to redistribute)
- create new wrapper .classpath and Manifest.mf files

From your experience, does this approach make sense? IMHO, one
disadvantage of this seems to be that we cannot create JAR'ed
plugins, so Webstart won't be possible. For JAR'ed plugins we'd
have to replace the Manifest.MF and add about.html to the
original *.jar, but I'd rather not touch the original binary...

Does anybody have comments on the process?

Could you point me to the places where Log4J and others are hosted
in the TPTP CVS Repository, such that I can also look at these as
a template? I'm wondering how to do the Features for the Update
Manager for instance.

Do you have any other supporting information that might help me?

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Eike,

In order to provide sources, even more is needed for each jar:

- One plugin for the binaries
- One feature for the binary-plugin in update manager
- Another plugin holding the sources
- One feature for the sources in update manager

For the source feature I'm not sure, perhaps sources for multiple
jar's could be packaged into a single source feature? - Perhaps
that could be another advantage of collecting 3rd party libs in
the Orbit project, it allows a build process to collect sources
into a single source feature for update manager.

Cheers,
Martin

Martin,

I thought about bundling all the sources, too.
But I fear that the potential for multiple versions of the same plugin
forces to have separate source plugins.
This potential might be more important than the minimized effort during
packaging.

forces to have separate source plugins.
This potential might be more important than the minimized effort during
packaging.
