Henrik,
So the tool is essentially optional at development time but the
eTrice runtime always needs the corresponding prolog runtime so it
sounds like a prerequisite to me.

Hi,
I have a question concerning the possible introduction of a
3rd party dependency in our eTrice project [0].
We are thinking about using the Prolog Cafe [1] for model
validation.
We already did an experiment as proof of concept [2].
If we decide to go with Prolog this would introduce two
dependencies.
One at development time (to compile a Prolog program into
Java).
Will folks be able to
do any eTrice development without this tool? I.e., is it an
optional tool?
it is needed only for a very special part of the validation. So in
99,9% it is not needed for development
And a second one at
runtime (because the compiled code needs a runtime library).
Will it always be
needed at runtime or only if you've defined validation using
prolog?
yes, always. Because it would replace a part of validation which
turned out to be cumbersome in plain Java
The questionable part is the second dependency which is as
of [3] of type "prerequisite".
Sometimes lawyers get
their shorts in knot over generator tools that generate source
code too...
Since Prolog Cafe is EPL licensed - do you expect any
problems?
No, but it's also an
issue of how well they tracked the pedigree of the code base.
That's been a problem for projects like ANTLR which has a
friendly license but apparently did little to ensure that all
contributors agreed that their contributions could be licensed
according to their chosen license.
I assume I have to open
an IPZilla?
Yes.
In this case do I have
to choose "[request] to use, reference, or distribute
third-party code that is maintained elsewhere (not already
in Orbit) " in the portal?
Yes.
Search for "Prolog"
returned no hits. So it seems I have to enter a new one,
right?
I think so, but if
note, the IP team will correct you. :-)
Thanks for your assistance,
Henrik
