[emft-dev] Fw: [modeling-pmc] Modeling Project now has an Orbit Committe

[Christian Damus <cdamus@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, fellow EMFT-ers,

If you have third-party libraries that
you would like to contribute to the Eclipse Orbit project, see below for
help that I can offer in accomplishing that.

In order to contribute your libraries,
I need a bugzilla on the Bundles component of the Orbit product (one per
library), indicating:

  - the IP log or IPzilla that
approved the third-party library
  - the location of the library
in your project's CVS tree
  - details of the library's version
number (as assigned by the vendor) and how
    to obtain the source code
corresponding to the binary version

Please note the importance of already
being approved by the EMO to use the third-party library; unapproved libraries
cannot be contributed to Orbit.

Cheers,

Christian

Christian:

I'd recommend touching base with Martin Taal and Eike Stepper. They both
use 3rd party code in their builds (Teneo and Net4j & CDO), which we
currently house on emft.eclipse.org
and they maintain (ie., update when necessary).
If there'd be a way to contrib those thrird party jars to Orbit I'm sure
other projects would be happy to benefit from that.

(If you get this twice it's because I sent it using the wrong email address
so the mailing list bounced it.) 

Cheers,

Nick

Hi, all, 

I have just been inducted as a committer on the Orbit project, with an
initial contribution of the LPG Java Runtime library used by the OCL component
(in MDT). 

As far as I know, I am the first Modeling project committer to be a member
of the Orbit team.  To ensure that the number of committers on the
Orbit project doesn't get out of hand, and to streamline the process of
contributing third-party libraries, Orbit would like to keep the number
of committers from each contributing project to scale with the number of
third-party libraries that they are contributing.  Thus, I am available
to contribute bundles to Orbit on behalf of any Modeling project or component
that has third-party dependencies that it wants to consume from Orbit.
 For example, I understand that GMF has an Apache Batik dependency
that I would be happy to contribute to Orbit, and to maintain as GMF adopts
successive versions of it. 

The principal requirement for contribution to Orbit is that the library
in question first be approved by EMO for use in the contributing project.
 For more details, see http://www.eclipse.org/orbit.

The effort involved in Orbit-izing a bundle is relatively small, but of
course, if Modeling has many third-party bundles to maintain, then I may
need some help.  :-) 

Thanks, 

Christian
