Re: [orbit-dev] EBR / Recipes Update

We don't have a documented rule. The informal
rule is "it is ok if relies on one or two low level packages".
In the current build we handle that
by have special parts of the script that add the "known dependency
exception" to the target. 
(That prevents "opening things
up too wide" and making mistakes.) 
I think currently we have one or two
such dependencies that each require one bundle from another Eclipse repo.
Plus, a number that require "osgi" bundles which area always
in the target. 

I recall one problem case where a CQ
was at first approved, but then turned out they depended on dozens of other
"Eclipse Foundation" bundles, so I said "no" and said
they should start a new project if they desired that.

What is the rule for 3rd party plugins then depend on an Eclipse project?

Here is an example (names simplified): "jersey.connectors.jetty"
depends Jetty. Does it mean that Jetty has to go into Orbit too? Is it
ok if the Jetty is referenced as a dependency in the Orbit build (eg.,
referencing a Jetty p2 repo)?
