[news.eclipse.technology.ecf] Re: JSR166 (java.util.concurrent) backport for Orbit 
Hi Markus,

I think that a 1.4 version of concurrent probably can/could be in Orbit...though I'm not sure about the usage/demand from other projects...but you could send an email to orbit-dev to get their view before doing the associated work.

BTW, what's the license for the backport? I can't seem to find it on the sourceforge pages. In either case (Orbit or not), we'll have to get IP approval (although perhaps a backport will be easier).

I'm not actually convinced, though, that moving the discovery ui down to 1.4 is necessary (bug 257381). Yes, it would be better, but given it's UI level I'm not sure it's required.

Hi,

for bug #257381 ("[Discovery] Reduce BREE to Java 1.4") [1] ECF needs a
backport of java.util.concurrent. The Distributed Computing Laboratory
at Emory University [2] provides such a backport and in my local tests
the lib seems to keep its promises.
Is anybody interested in such a backport in Orbit? Does it make sense to
have it in Orbit? If not, I won't go through the hassle of creating an
Orbit-esque version and simple embed it in the ECF consumer bundle.
