RE: [modeling-pmc] Modeling Project now has an Orbit Committer
|
Hi Christian,
If you can work on getting our Batik dependency (and the
Batik PDF feature/plug-in we maintain for others) into Orbit, that would be
great. Just let us know what we can do to help you.
Best,
Rich
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
