Re: [orbit-dev] Request to become Orbit committer

[Jeff McAffer <Jeff_McAffer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike, 

You've come to the right place.  Essentially
you volunteer to bundle and manage a certain set of libs and an existing
Orbit committer can nominate you.  I did that just a few minutes ago.
 The vote will happen and at some point in the near future you will
end up with commit rights.

As for your question, Orbit does not
run an update site.  In general you should list the required bundles
in your features and zips as necessary.  In the future this will evolve
as p2 (the new provisioning story) comes to play but for now just continue
as normal -- do the bundleing/IP work in Orbit but  update your build
to suck the built pieces from the Orbit download site and include them
in your distributions.

Subject	[orbit-dev] Request to become Orbit committer

All: 
I am a co-technical lead and committer for the Accessibility Tools Framework
project 

http://www.eclipse.org/actf 

and wish to become a committer to the Orbit project in order to bundle
the following libraries. The libraries that have been approved have a CQ
in parenthesies. 

1. commons-beanutils, v1.7, http://commons.apache.org/beanutils, (1850)
2. commons-jxpath, v1.2, http://commons.apache.org/jxpath, (1866)
3. Bean Scripting Framework (BSF), v2.3.0, http://jakarta.apache.org/bsf

Also, a question: If my project has runtime dependencies on libraries that
are packaged as Orbit bundles, then do I simply include these bundles in
my plugin/feature manifest to be included in the distribution or does Orbit
has its own udpate site, enabling me to prereq particular bundles for my
project? Same question for an RCP application.
