Re: [eclipse-pmc] Please approve works-with dependency on XULRunner 17

The dependency on XULRunner really predates the whole 3rd party dependency policy so it may be that we just never had a CQ recording the relationship. I think works-with is the right answer though. Exempt-prereq is for something non-optional that you can't run without, and with SWT there is always the option of using a different browser library.

I can't find any, either but SWT has had a "works with"-style dependency on XULRunner for a long time.  Or maybe it was an "exempt prereq"?

Not that I can find. We do have a similar one for WebKit:

+1 from me.  I thought we already had XUL Runner as a works with dependency.

PMC members,


The SWT team has submitted a CQ to document a dependency on XUL Runner 17. This is not a library we would distribute with Eclipse Platform or SWT. If the library is present, then SWT can optionally use the library in its Browser widget. As required by the Eclipse 3rd party library policy [2], the PMC must determine what kind of dependency this is, and record its decision in a public communication channel. I propose we record this as a "works-with" dependency. This exact case is in fact used as an example in the definition of "Works with" in the policy document. Please cast your vote here.


+1 from me
