HI Ed
Yes the BIRT chart feature is all that MoDisco uses.
Looking at the residual aggrcon ...
"oxygen" is really vintage
"interim" is really smelly
It seems that BIRT has died and we are raking over its ashes.
Therefore surely all BIRT features should be removed from all
SimRel categories?
Perhaps somewhere central analogous to Orbit is a better location
for a frozen library until BIRT is resuscitated.

Ed

Aleksandar,
Thanks again for the constructive suggestion. I experimented
with reducing BIRT's contribution to just the chart feature:
https://git.eclipse.org/r/154052
That build passes and that also solves the "who will do this
problem". :-P
In addition, I fixed all the broken links in simrel.aggr. Many
people are editing textually; removing a feature from your
*.aggrcon breaks the links from the custom categories to those
features, or shifts them to a different feature. It's hard
ensure one doesn't introduce errors when there are errors to
begin with. :-(
Note that I'm not 100% sure if this change to BIRT's
contribution also avoids all the unsigned content, but I believe
it does. I.e., installing this feature in an IDE does not
appear to install the two unsigned bundles older Orbit bundles.
Of course I'm not so comfortable changing someone else's
*.aggrcon, so if there is someone from the BIRT team paying
attention, please speak up.
Failing that, what do we, the active participants, think of
this approach/change?
Regards,
Ed

Fred,
We're definitely on the path to greatness
again.? Many teams have taken
action so the RC1 report is much improved:
https://download.eclipse.org/oomph/archive/reports/download.eclipse.org/releases/2019-12/http___download.eclipse.org_releases_2019-12_201912061000.html
Special thanks to the Eclipse Collections team
who I know invested
significant time.
There are unfortunately some hold-outs that
continue to reflect poorly
on our group's results:
These outstanding bugs are open for each of the
bad license problems
because it appears that these contributors are
not reading cross-projects:

*Please pay attention t4me, uml2, m2e, m2e-wtp,
mylyn docs, and xwt teams.*
Also, given that the Reporting package has been
removed I would
recommend removing BIRT itself from SimRel.??
This content is more than
two years old with bad licenses and with the
only remaining unsigned
content. ? I don't hold out hope that there will
be a new build so I've
*not *opened a Bugzilla. *

*Does BIRT removal affect anyone?*

Yes,
Eclipse Memory Analyzer uses BIRT for graphing of
memory usage. We would not have any pie charts if
BIRT was removed, both dynamic charts in the
overview pane and HTML charts in reports. The pie
charts shown on our home page https://www.eclipse.org/mat/ and
here https://www.eclipse.org/mat/about/overview.png and
here https://help.eclipse.org/2019-09/topic/org.eclipse.mat.ui.help/tasks/listbiggestobjects.html is
generated by BIRT.
Fortunately
the graphing is in a separate feature, so it would
not break the rest of the tool, but it is useful
for us. We only have a small team and don't have
the time or expertise to use a new graphing
package. If it has to be removed then we need
plenty of notice, and ideally some help in writing
code to use a replacement. Please keep BIRT.
Is it a possibility BIRT contribution to be
shrinked to charting feature only? IIRC chart was
separate feature in birt . We moved to swtchart from
BIRT chart in Linux Tools and never looked back.
Thanks,
