| [dsdp-mtj-dev] Initial contributions on MTJ reboot |
hi mtj,
mtj was official rebooted last week and the committers have being added to the project :D.
we are still working on update the website and the wiki with a new proposed planning. during eclipscon we will have an specific MTJ BOF to get feedback on the proposed planning from the community (http://www.eclipsecon.org/2008/?page=sub/&id=506). if you are attending the conference, your opinion will be very important during the BOF discussions.
now we need to talk about how to go on with the project.
based on the initial proposed plan that we sent to list on january, the first step will be to contribute eclipseme contribution to mtj. we talk with janet and we are ok to use parallel ip process on mtj. eclipseme was already used on mtj, but we need to re-submit the new version of it.
there are a couple of points that we need to address to contribute eclipseme
1 - which version should we take?
2 - who has the copyright of eclipseme code?
3 - which external packs are used inside of it? which license they have and who hold the copyright?
about item 1:
craig,
do you think we can go with version 1.7.7 and then apply the updated on it? i remember that you mentioned that you are working on a new version of it, but do you think it is possible that we just apply your updates on top of 1.7.7?
about item 2:
i looked at the code and it seems to me that there are only two copyright owners:
- Kevin Hunter (signing solution)
- Craig Setera (rest of the code)
craig, can you confirm that?
about item 3:
i did an initial analysis of the code and below is a list of the packages, owners and licenses that i found
- antenna (Omry Yadan): EPL / LGPL
- Truezip (Christian Schlichtherle); Apache
- ObjectWeb ASM – bytecode manipulation (INRIA, France Telecom): open source?
- Jetty – HTTP Server (mortbay.org) – Apache (already used on MTJ)
craig,
do you anticipate any possible problems with any of those packages? i'm not sure if we can use antenna
are all of them really used? it seems to the ObjectWeb ASM is used on eclipseme preverifier impl that you mention that is not being used. i also could not find any reference in the code to the truezip component.
:)
