Hi Jay, hi Torkild, all,
yep, it would be great having more plugins available in the Eclipse
Orbit universe :-). I gave a short overview at the last EclipseCon
in France how to use/include 3rd party libraries (but most of the
people know how to do this):
http://de.slideshare.net/PhilipWenig/eclipsecon-france-2014
From my opinion, we should find a way/strategy how to contact
projects and how to convince them to join the Eclipse Foundation
except of those who are already part of another Foundation, e.g.
Apache Foundation.
@Jay
Are the NetCDF libraries build on top of HDF5? As far as I know,
NetCDF is the predecessor of HDF. Anyhow, it was a good step that
they switched to a MIT-style license:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/developer/en/entry/new_license_for_netcdf_java
The better it would be if they would join the Science Working Group
and switch to EPL. Do you have contact to people from the NetCDF
team?
Cheers,
Philip

Torkild,
I think it would be very cool for those to go into
Eclipse Orbit.
More generally, and this is a technical discussion
that made me think of getting a forum, we should think about a
larger, cross-platform set of universal binary builds of common
scientific libraries that we could get approved through Orbit.
For example, in addition to HDF5 we probably need to pick up
other I/O libraries like netcdf and exodus II. Both of these are
built on top of HDF5 and have BSD licenses, so why not just make
it very convenient and build them all together? Other libraries,
like math libraries could be added too. An integrated software
stack like this is a highly coveted thing in many M&S
circles because it would greatly simplify deployment of M&S
codes for commercial customers.
Of course this is a technically difficult thing to do
and comes with legal questions, so an extended discussion would
be best in a forum or bug ticket. But... it would be really cool
to just pull down the org.eclipse.science.native bundle(s) from
Orbit in a target!

Hi Philip,
This is a great idea! I'd like to contribute if I can. It's up
to my client whether or not I can go to the unconference. I've
not heard with them yet so I don't know.
One thing we've been working on that we would like to
contribute, if we can - are neatly bundled HDF5 binaries for
supported platforms. Maybe this can go into Eclipse Orbit. I
suspect we're not alone in packaging HDF5 so it would be great
to get some input on that. In any case I'll start the CQ
process very soon, so maybe we can get a go-ahead before
EclipseCon.
Best regards,
Torkild
