Re: [stp-dev] Releasing IBM's initial contribution ofSOA AssemblyFramewo

[Michael Elder <mdelder@xxxxxxxxxx>]

STP Team: 

This was my oversight. These contributions
are the second phase of the original IBM contribution, but were delayed
for various reasons. We have one more phase which will include the Java
implementation for the SAF and the Introspection Framework. I will ensure
that this contributions comes through bugzilla and has the contribution
form filled out *before* it is pushed into the repository. 

I do have one question though. Each
of the contributors of these pieces are already STP committers (as part
of the grandfather process). We have a version of this code used in our
builds for use internally -- which we will continue to use until STP is
producing stable, tested builds with these components. As we make defect
fixes or design modifications, we will want to push these changes into
the version in the open source to maintain consistency. So how long would
the Eclipse Foundation and STP PMC like for us to submit code into the
repo via bugzilla? At one point are we considered to be "working in
the STP repo" and not "contributing a new bag of code"?


Until STP is produce stable, tested
builds, we are trapped in a little "mini-consumeable code limbo".
As committers, we do follow all of the due diligence required for contributions
to an Eclipse project whether we submit the code through bugzilla or into
the repository. We are happy to follow this process -- but it will mean
that changes will come down in chunks; rather than just doing all of the
development straight out of the repo -- which is our preferred way of operating
as good Eclipsitizens.

Mike,
Thanks for spotting this, I was out of the office on Friday. Lok, I'd  
also like
to remind you that fresh code contributions need to come in through  
the bugzilla
system and not straight into the repository. I've created a bug for  
this [0] and
attached the code. This is the process for future contributions  
unless they have
been explicitly through the EPL establishment previously (i.e. have  
moved from
another Eclipse project).

  regards
    Oisin
