Fred,
We're definitely on the path to greatness again.? Many teams have taken
action so the RC1 report is much improved:

Special thanks to the Eclipse Collections team who I know invested
significant time.
There are unfortunately some hold-outs that continue to reflect poorly
on our group's results:
These outstanding bugs are open for each of the bad license problems
because it appears that these contributors are not reading cross-projects:

*Please pay attention t4me, uml2, m2e, m2e-wtp, mylyn docs, and xwt teams.*
To be clear, I AM paying attention but UML2 was not planning a new release as part of the 2019-12 train and I’m afraid I will not be able to carve out the personal time required to produce one with the limited runway that is left. If this is truly a critical issue, I will work towards a plan to fix it for the next round. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Also, given that the Reporting package has been removed I would
recommend removing BIRT itself from SimRel.?? This content is more than
two years old with bad licenses and with the only remaining unsigned
content. ? I don't hold out hope that there will be a new build so I've
*not *opened a Bugzilla. *

*Does BIRT removal affect anyone?*

Yes, Eclipse
Memory Analyzer uses BIRT for graphing of memory usage. We would not have
any pie charts if BIRT was removed, both dynamic charts in the overview
pane and HTML charts in reports. The pie charts shown on our home page
https://www.eclipse.org/mat/
and here https://www.eclipse.org/mat/about/overview.png
and here https://help.eclipse.org/2019-09/topic/org.eclipse.mat.ui.help/tasks/listbiggestobjects.html
is generated by BIRT.
Fortunately the
graphing is in a separate feature, so it would not break the rest of the
tool, but it is useful for us. We only have a small team and don't have
the time or expertise to use a new graphing package. If it has to be removed
then we need plenty of notice, and ideally some help in writing code to
use a replacement. Please keep BIRT.
Thanks,
Andrew Johnson
