Thanks Torkild, Mike. An external repo or Market Place etc were
indeed what we were also thinking about. On the other hand, I feel it's important to have an as-simple-as-possible initial install experience, especially for rather generic tools like a workflow IDE where we need to "compete" with existing (non-eclipse) packages with a large set of initially contained components and their dependencies. Also, if the Science WG or our projects end up needing to host own "more-or-less-eclipsy" repository, wouldn't that be perceived as being part of the eclipse ecosystem anyway? erwin Op 20/04/2016 om 22:19 schreef Torkild

Sorry Andrea, I did not see you message until later :) I meant something like this https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/225:_Open_Source I remember we briefly discussed hosting a site for our LGPL dependencies. We could do some shared mechanism for downloading these if need be. I’m not sure how it would work for GPL licensed binaries. If you link to these you’re infected, so you need to use them by starting a separate process. For example the way CDT works with GCC.

Is that an STD or something? ;-) Joking aside, I'm also in the "No GPL" camp. However, waxing philosophical for a second if I may, it does bring up an interesting computational science question about dealing with "mainstay" codes like FFTW that have a GPL license. That's not a code that could be simply reinvented, and it powers a large portion of computational science. Again, just pondering.

I think you got what I meant. Sorry.
