| [technology-pmc] [CQ 7752] Javax.annotation Version: 1.2 (PB CQ7386) |
http://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7752 --- Comment #8 from Stuart McCulloch <mcculls@xxxxxxxxx> 2014-11-18 18:04:13 --- As mentioned in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=422981 my objective in adding it to Orbit was to promote re-use, since Jetty was already using this bundle, and I could see other projects might also want to use it. There's no plan to distribute the javax.annotation bundle with Sisu. It can work with this bundle or any other bundle that exports javax.annotation, but it's not required to provide full functionality (there are alternative annotations that can be used in its place, and other ways to configure things to achieve the same result). According to https://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/Eclipse_Policy_and_Procedure_for_3rd_Party_Dependencies_Final.pdf a 'workswith' dependency is defined as: "The Eclipse software does not require the third party software to be present. If the third party software happens to be present, the Eclipse software may call or invoke it" Whereas for a 'prerequisite' dependency: "The Eclipse software requires the third party software in order to work correctly or to provide full function" To me this dependency falls under the first case rather than the second. -- Configure CQmail: http://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the CQ.
