The GPLv3 license is a problem because in my narrow reading of
the license, aggregation of GPLv3 libraries makes the entire
product GPLv3. GPLv3 is not compatible with the EPL.
Personally, I stay away from GPLv3 for anything that I ever
intend to release.
For details: https://eclipse.org/legal/eplfaq.php#GPLCOMPATIBLE
Are the Eclipse Public License
(EPL) and the General Public License (GPL) compatible?
The EPL and the GPL are not compatible in any
combination where the result would be considered either: (a) a
"derivative work" (which Eclipse interprets consistent with the
definition of that term in the U.S. Copyright Act ) or (b) a
work "based on" the GPL code, as that phrase is used in the GPLv2,
GPLv3
or the GPL
FAQ as applicable. Further, you may not combine EPL and
GPL code in any scenario where source code under those licenses
are both the same source code module.
Based upon the position
of the Free Software Foundation, you may not combine EPL and GPL
code in any scenario where linking exists between code made
available under those licenses. The above applies to both GPL
version 2 and GPL version 3.

Hi,
recently I was looking around for a handy solution to setup
bidirectional communication between Java and Python. I know that
this is not a trivial issue. However, looking at the past
EclipseCon presentations, I noticed that jpy libraries (licensed
under GPL3) have not been mentioned.
http://jpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/jpy/
Do you know any reason that might discourage to implement them?
Do anyone has any experience with these libraries?
Cheers,
Michele.
