Re: [eclipse-pmc] e4 & equinox Bundles with 0.* version and incubation s

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think there was any special arrangement.
We had a move/graduation review and the parts of e4 used by the platform
were graduated and moved into the platform repository. Everything consumed
by the platform has graduated, passed full legal review, etc. We probably
should have incremented versions to 1.0 at that time but we never made
that change. Since then, we have been using the practice of incrementing
to 1.0 on any bundle where we produce official API.

org.eclipse.equinox.bidi was never in
any incubator. The bundle version should be 1.0 or greater and we have
a bug for that:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=380397

Generally, I recall there was a rule
that incubating projects have version < 1.0, but I don't think the inverse
is necessarily required (mature projects must use versions > 1.0). These
cases are relatively new bundles that are still evolving, that live inside
a mature project.

Hi PMC,
 
On the EPP mailing list, I was asked to
confirm that the Eclipse Standard package (ie Platform + Egit + MPC) doesn’t
include any incubating components. If it would, then the filename would
need to be “eclipse-*-incubating-*”.
 
I’ve checked the list of bundles and found
that some org.eclipse.e4*_0.* bundles exist, as well as org.eclipse.equinox.bidi_0.10
:
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/epp-dev/msg02618.html
 
I seem to remember that some special agreement
was made when Platform first released as a “mature” project including
e4 … and that the relevant actual git repos of e4 were moved over to Platform
at that time while keeping the rest of e4 in “Incubating” status (for
XWT and other bits).
 
So I _think_ that we don’t include
any incubating components from an IP point of view (read: parallel IP applied
to respective git repos) … but wanted to double check what you think ?
Can you give me actual material / documents to follow up on the EPP mailing
list ?
 
Thanks,
Martin
