We in the Eclipse Swordfish team http://www.eclipse.org/swordfish/ are currently trying to get ODE through the Eclipse Foundation's IP process (license and intellectual property checking, due diligence). This is the second planned usage of ODE in the Eclipse Runtime beside the Eclipse SMILA project. Jürgen Schumacher from SMILA removed Jaxen and Saxon dependencies from ODE - which is a prerequisite to get ODE through the eclipse IP compliance process due to some license issues with Jaxen and Saxon. Our problem is that the eclipse IP process only uses released software and ODE 1.2 cannot be used because of the Jaxen and Saxon dependencies and missing functionality. Back in October an ODE 2.0 beta was thought doable within "a week or two" - see below. We at Eclipse (Smila and Swordfish) urgently need a beta release of ODE 2.0. When can a beta be expected? Are there any plans for a trunk release? It would help us very much.
