Christian:
I'd recommend touching base with Martin Taal and Eike Stepper. They both use 3rd party code in their builds (Teneo and Net4j & CDO), which we currently house on
emft.eclipse.org
and they maintain (ie., update when necessary). If there'd be a way to contrib those thrird party jars to Orbit I'm sure other projects would be happy to benefit from that.
(If you get this twice it's because I sent it using the wrong email address so the mailing list bounced it.)
Cheers,
Nick
Hi, all,
I have just been inducted as a committer
on the Orbit project, with an initial contribution of the LPG Java Runtime
library used by the OCL component (in MDT).
As far as I know, I am the first Modeling
project committer to be a member of the Orbit team. To ensure that
the number of committers on the Orbit project doesn't get out of hand,
and to streamline the process of contributing third-party libraries, Orbit
would like to keep the number of committers from each contributing project
to scale with the number of third-party libraries that they are contributing.
Thus, I am available to contribute bundles to Orbit on behalf of
any Modeling project or component that has third-party dependencies that
it wants to consume from Orbit. For example, I understand that GMF
has an Apache Batik dependency that I would be happy to contribute to Orbit,
and to maintain as GMF adopts successive versions of it.
The principal requirement for contribution
to Orbit is that the library in question first be approved by EMO for use
in the contributing project. For more details, see http://www.eclipse.org/orbit.
The effort involved in Orbit-izing a
bundle is relatively small, but of course, if Modeling has many third-party
bundles to maintain, then I may need some help. :-)
Thanks,
Christian
