Robbie Gemmell commented on QPID-3504:
--------------------------------------
The bdbstore module has been added as an optional part of the build. It is
enabled by setting the -Dmodules.opt=bdbstore property, either in the build
command or using the newly-added build.overrides file. The build warns about
the licence of the BDB JE dependency during build and download, which can be
performed eitehr explicitly by running ant -f bdbstore/build.xml download-bdb
in a standalone fashion, inline with the build by adding -Ddownload-bdb=true to
a build command.
The qpid-server unix script has been updated to pull optional jars into the
broker classpath from the /lib/opt dir if it is present, to allow an easy way
of providing the dependency for end users. The qpid-server.bat file still needs
to be updated.

> Project: Qpid
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Java Broker, Java Broker BDB Store
> Reporter: Robbie Gemmell
> Assignee: Robbie Gemmell
> Fix For: 0.13

> Email to the dev list from a couple weeks ago:
> Hi all,
> As some of you no doubt already know the Java broker has a few
> configuration/message store implementations, with there currently being
> Memory, Derby (to be split into truly generic JDBC + Derby implementations at
> some point), and BDB Java Edition backed implementations of the interfaces.
> Although the store code itself for the last of these implementations carries
> the Apache Licence v2.0 it depends on a library licenced under the Sleepycat
> licence [1], which is classed as a Category X dependency here at Apache and
> so can't be distributed by the project. As a result, this store
> implementation has always been hosted elsewhere and I recently began looking
> into moving it to Apache Extras. Having done so I was instead left with the
> impression that it would actually be possible to move the code into our ASF
> repo. This was reinforced after further investigation lead me to instances of
> other Apache projects that currently are or have previously been doing
> roughly what I thought to be allowable. I have since enquired on this
> possibility over on legal-discuss and my question was answered positively [2].
> Based on this I propose to do the following:
> - Move the BDB based store code into our ASF repo as the basis of an optional
> component that is not compiled by the build process by default, and is not
> referred to in the shipping broker configuration.
> - Add targets to our Ant build to allow downloading the BDB jar (with warning
> that it is Sleepycat licenced) and building the associated store module.
> - Improve the documentation describing how users would update their
> configuration to use the optional component, and where to download the
> necessary BDB dependency it requires (again with warning it is Sleepycat
> licenced).
> I think this will be easier going forward both for us developers and for
> users, but this is a heads up in case there are those in the community
> particularly against such a change being made; if so please speak up now, as
> I hope to get round to doing this in the not too distance future.
