[aperi-dev] New requirements for Conforming Incubation Phase projects

[Tom Guinane <guinane@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Per our discussion at Monday's development
call, here is the list of new
requirements for a conforming
Eclipse project in the Incubation Phase (what we are): 

- - - - -
All conforming Incubation phase
Eclipse projects are eligible to participate in the Parallel IP process.
A conforming
project: 
1.        Is
in the Incubation
phase. 
2.        Correctly
displays the incubation
logo on their project home page.

3.        Correctly
displays the same incubation logo on their project's primary download page.

4.        All
downloadable zip files for builds and milestones must include the word
"incubation" in the filename. For example, DSF-SDK-incubation-N20070413-0200.zip

• The jar files in the download zip file are not required to contain the word "incubation" in the filename. (See bug 178944 for the explanation.)

5.
       All
"Bundle-Name"s must include the world "incubation".
Note that "Bundle-SymbolicName"s should not include "incubation"
because the Bundle-SymbolicName is a technical namespace, not a user namespace.
For example, Bundle-Name: Foo Plug-in (Incubation)

6.        Similarly,
the names for update manager features must include the word "incubation".
For example, Eclipse Platform (Incubation)

- - - - - 

We currently conform to items 1 thru
3.  If we can easily address items 4 thru 6 while we are building
our 0.3 Release, then I would say do it..  If not, I suggest we put
out R0.3 out first, then address.   Any recommendations from the build
folks?

Cheers,   Tom
