Re: [cdt-dev] Native plug-ins

One of the topics discussed at EclipseCon was the native plug-ins,
I.e. the ones that do the Spawner, PTY, Windows Registry, and now
Serial Port. There is more interest in using this functionality
outside the scope of the CDT. In fact, I’ve received a couple of
requests to use it outside of Eclipse, especially the Serial Port.
I’ll be taking a look at this in the upcoming weeks. One part of this,
to make them more mobile in case we want to push it down the stack,
I’d like to move it into it’s own repo. At the very least we need a
separate build since things like org.eclipse.remote will need to
depend on it which creates a circular build dependency.
Doug,
As discussed at EclipseCon: With respect to Serial Port specifically, we
may want to consider dual-licensing the code EPL+EDL(BSD). That would
ensure that the component could be consumed in GPL licensed projects. I
suspect that a well-written, well-maintained, and liberally licensed
replacement for RXTX would be of great interest.
