[science-iwg] Licence problem for DAWNSci

[UOMo <uomo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Matt/all,

Please note, the UnitMetadata class in DAWNSci uses a JSR (275) which according to Eclipse IP team is not acceptable for usage at Eclipse, see http://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7583

Luckily there's Unit-API 0.6 also used by UOMo to the rescue: https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5260

DAWNSci only uses the Unit type, so changing

import javax.measure.unit.Unit;

to

import org.unitsofmeasurement.unit.Unit;

should do the trick.

I cannot say what Import-Package: javax.measure.unit;version="4.3.1"

refers to? Likely JScience, but as per mentioned CQs, JSR 275 is no longer legitimate to use (since the JScience license does not apply but the Spec License) so it'll be

Import-Package: org.unitsofmeasurement.unit;version="0.6.1" instead.

Hope, that helps. Let me know, if you need any further support using the approved Unit-API version.
