I build an RCP app. My plug-in is not derived from any EPL code. When I
export my application for deployment I get eclipse.exe (renamed) and some
set of jar files. According to the EPL, am I required to make the sources
of eclipse.exe and those jar files available to my customers? That's what
the lawyers at my company say and that is what someone who answered my
question from the Eclipse foundation told me.
Does everyone do that?
If it is required, could the export wizard be made to also package up the
appropriate sources?
If it is required, can someone explain to me why? As far as I'm
concerned, the RCP components are just a run-time that I use - I haven't
changed them. Why is it important that my customers can get the sources
from me - as opposed to directly from Eclipse?
