Re: [geclipse-user] VTK Status

[Thomas Köckerbauer <tkoeck@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Currently work on g-Eclipse is only done on a best effort basis since there is 
no funding at the moment. In addition in my case it is also difficult to 
contribute right now since I'm doing my civil service at the moment.
We are interested to continue work on it and if you have requests or there are 
things that have to be fixed we would be happy to hear about it, but it might 
take some time that we can implement it.
If you want to work together on something we also would be interested.

The source code of g-Eclipse is split onto two repositories. The plugins that 
are under the Eclipse Public License (EPL) (or compatible licenses) are in the 
Eclipse.org SVN. Plugins with other licenses (or depend on a non-EPL plugin) 
are in a separate repository. This is due to the licensing policies of 
Eclipse.org. (VTK is under a BSD license and it is very likely that it would 
fulfill the requirements for getting on the Eclipse.org repository, but it did 
not go through the necessary Eclipse intellectual property process yet)

The EPL part can be found at:
svn://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/technology/eu.geclipse
See also: http://www.eclipse.org/geclipse/contributing.php

The non-EPL part can be fount at:
:ext:anoncvs@xxxxxxxxxx:/cvs/fzk/geclipse - subdirectory /geclipse/development
See also: http://savannah.fzk.de/cvs/?group=geclipse


Best wishes,
Thomas
