RE: [modeling-pmc] Modeling Project now has an Orbit Committer
|
Hi Christian,
Which version of LPG you are going to contribute to
the Orbit project? AFAIK, OCL component uses 1.0, is it the version being
contributed? In GMF, we use LPG 1.1 now (which is almost the same as 1.0 from
runtime point of view), perhaps, it makes sense to put it to the Orbit as
well?
Best wishes,
Artem
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
