I’m waiting to hear back to confirm, but I’m pretty sure the gist of it is that we can’t exclude unnecessary embedded dependencies (netcdf, fits, slf4-*, etc.) from the CQ if we are the not the ones distributing the dependency in question.

 

If we distribute HDF-Java but still leave it to the user to install native HDF5, that might be okay. The prebuilt HDF5 has 2 embedded dependencies, but I think submitting CQs for them should be fairly straight forward as they don’t seem to have any further dependencies.

 

I’ll let you know when I hear back if this is the case for certain.

Anna,

How would it make it easier exactly? Does it make the CQ easier? It definitely doesn't make the IT easier on our side.

If it streamlines the CQ, we can distribute them. The problem is that you and Jordan will have to get everything built and working with ICE on Windows, Mac and Linux in that case.

I originally figured that we would distribute HDF-Java but leave the HDF5 C/C++ libraries to them. Again, whatever strategy works best is fine by me.

Jay,

 

Are we wanting to actually distribute the binary HDF5 and HDF-Java libraries (the DLLs/SOs installed locally) as part of ICE? I’ve been talking to the Eclipse IP folks for a few days now trying to discern how to handle HDF5 and HDF-Java if we’re not the ones distributing the libraries, but if we are, that makes this all a lot simpler…
