| Re: [dash-dev] Contributing Eclipse CARE utility to Eclipse the Dash project |
Hi Boris, André, and Wayne,
This sounds like an excellent addition to the Dash project!
As I am currently proposing the restructuring of the Eclipse Project Handbook for GSoC 2026, I see a very strong connection here. The Handbook defines the 'best practices' and policies, while Eclipse CARE provides the automation to verify them.
I would love to explore the code and see how the recommendations in CARE align with the Handbook content. I'll be looking into the repository and documentation today to see where I can help with early testing or documentation improvements.
Best regards,
Sakshi Chavan

André Gomes and myself have started writing a utility to help assess best practices in Eclipse projects.
It's called Eclipse CLI Assessment and Recommendation Engine, or Eclipse CARE for short.
>From the readme:
--8<---------------------
Eclipse CARE lets you assess any Eclipse project regarding Eclipse open source best practices, and get recommendations for improvement.
Its features include:
• Recommended files (e.g. README, LICENSE, SECURITY, etc.) in repositories (Implemented).
• Copyright headers checks (Implemented).
• IP and license management (Coming Soon).
• Headers generator (Coming Soon).
--8<---------------------
We would like to contribute the code and associated resources to the Eclipse Dash project -- that is, moving the GitLab repository [1] into the Eclipse Dash GitLab group.
It's still in a very early stage, but we already have code, tests, docs in [1], CI is running (and green) at [3], and the package is also available on Pypi [4].
[1] https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/emo-team/eclipse-care
[2] https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipse/technology/dash
[3] https://foundation.eclipse.org/ci/infra/job/eclipse-metrics/job/Eclipse%20CARE%20Full%20repo/
[4] https://pypi.org/project/eclipse-care/
Would that be ok with you, good people? Any comment or remark before we proceed?
I plan to request the official integration in one week's time, if nobody opposes it before then.
Thank you, have a wonderful day and end of the week! :-)
