==> The format is not specified but APIs allow to read the content.

Instead, API is provided for reading the content of such image. (Hence: "proprietary format"). The BETA feature provides support for working with these jimage files. So that causes a problem, right? If the jimage format is not spec'd as part of a JSR that means that we have to reverse engineer a GPL+CE-licensed implementation in order to emit jimage files. Do I understand that correctly? Is this a topic that I should be raising concerns about at the JCP Executive Committee? -- Mike Milinkovich [email protected] +1.613.220.3223 (mobile) [attachment "ECE Friends 138x38_0.png" deleted by Daniel Megert/Zurich/IBM] _______________________________________________ cross-project-issues-dev mailing list [email protected] To change your delivery options, retrieve your password, or unsubscribe from this list, visit https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-project-issues-dev
