Maybe we need to consider removing BIRT 4.7.0 since it depends on versions of requirements that are not in the Photon simrel.
* DTP 1.13 version is 2 years old (Neon). * WTP 3.9 version is 1 year old (Oxygen). * EMF 2.13 is 1 year old (Oxygen). The fact that BIRT hasn't even done a milestone build since June 2017 [0] means it might not even compile or run against these newer versions of its dependencies. It might be fine, but it might not. No one has done the diligence. [0] http://download.eclipse.org/birt/downloads/build_list.php I did find there's a 4.8.0 master branch build but those are *not running tests*, and a new CI build hasn't been run since March 13, 2018 (Photon.0.M6 +2 day) [1]. And it's still using WTP 3.9.0 (not 3.9.5 or 3.10.0.M6) and DTP 1.13 (not 1.14). [1] https://ci.eclipse.org/birt/job/birt-master/60/ But if a project hasn't contributed new bits to the current simrel for M4, M5, M6, despite having new CI builds... should it be removed like TM/RSE was removed? The latest in simrel is 4.7.0.v201706, from the birt oxygen-interim site [2]. [2] http://download.eclipse.org/birt/update-site/oxygen-interim/ @Wayne, what's the official policy here?
