The performance framework is EPL, which is not an authorized
license according to our documentation.
You mean org.eclipse.test.performance here?
We are likely to make some modifications, if we haven't already,
and so it's easier not to put it here. If we made anything more
then minimal changes we have to back it out.
You mean http://svn.sonatype.org/m2eclipse/sandbox/trunk/maven-performance-tests/org.eclipse.test.performance.patch
here? Everything else in http://svn.sonatype.org/m2eclipse/sandbox/trunk/maven-performance-tests/
is under ALv2?
They actually should probably be EPL because it would be nice if they
could ultimately go back to Eclipse.
If that is the case, can't we commit the patch & EPL'd binary to the
SVN repo here (or put the binary in a Maven repository), and submit
the patches upstream in the hope that we only need to use the
official Eclipse binary down the track?
This shouldn't be a problem in general - we aren't checking in any
EPL sources. And further, we aren't intending to redistribute the
performance framework as a release anyway.
I definitely plan to release this for people to test. We're working on
trying to make it dead simple for people to materialize Maven inside
M2Eclipse along with the integration tests and the performance tests.
It needs to be very easy for people try this. I like the source way,
you and Brian like the binary way of packaging up the ITs. So I plan
to try both.
I don't want to be hindered by a licensing policy to make quick
changes at the source level or have remove the possibility of releasing.
So 1) it's unclear as almost everything is here legally, and 2) it's
too limited and cumbersome even in its current form and 3) it's not
any less convenient checking it out of one place over another. The
goals is to make it easy for people who want to try this.
Cheers,
Brett
