Especially since this is apparently no longer required for legal reasons, I'm good with dropping it.

For some more background, I'm referring to the practice documented here: https://wiki.eclipse.org/About_files However, after reviewing the project handbook it seems that the requirement around legal documents accompanying a jar changed. > For content delivered as Java archive (JAR) files, for example, the legal files should be placed in the META-INF directory. Thus, the requirement to have an about.html file no longer exist. I found an old reference on the page, which seems incorrect. Also, the requirement to collect about_files seems to have been replaced with the NOTICE file. Source: https://www.eclipse.org/projects/handbook/#legaldoc Kai, what you are doing looks like the recommended practise to me. -Gunnar -- Gunnar Wagenknecht gunnar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, http://guw.io/ _______________________________________________ eclipse.org-architecture-council mailing list eclipse.org-architecture-council@xxxxxxxxxxx https://www.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/eclipse.org-architecture-council IMPORTANT: Membership in this list is generated by processes internal to the Eclipse Foundation.
