Hi David.
Probably our best source of information is the project handbook
https://www.eclipse.org/projects/handbook/#ip (Eclipse)
https://www.locationtech.org/documentation/handbook#ip (LocationTech)
In the process of creating a CQ, the tool gives you an opportunity to
pick something that's already been approved. We made this better with an
implementation that runs directly off the project page. I need to enable
this for LocationTech [1].
I've noticed that we don't actually describe how to actually create the
CQ in the handbook. I'll add this [2].

Hi,
Adding dependencies (3rd party JARs), in my experience, is a
relatively frequent event. If not for my project, I certainly imagine
so for others. Has someone worked out a simplified set of
instructions on some web URL I cant point our committers at? I
expressly want to avoid excessive information (and thus confusion)
about "contributions" of all kinds; instead I just want the essentials
specifically for dependencies on 3rd party open-source JARs.
Very loosely, the steps I am aware of are:
* Go to IP Zilla and see if there is an existing CQ for the library.
Does the version matter? And if I do find one then what?
* If there is no existing IP Zilla entry then file a new CQ.
* Email the PMC (for me/Spatial4j that would be the Locationtech PMC)
to indicate that the project requests a dependency, that it's either
"works-with" or "prerequesite" (indicate) and other aspects of the
dependency of interest (license), and to humbly ask that another PMC
member "+1" the CQ. As an aside -- I think this step ought to be
eliminated for certain categories of licenses! Lets stop wasting
people's time on both sides.
Is this necessary at all for a "test" dependency (i.e. JUnit, Mockito,
or whatever)?
I know I've done some of this before but every time I do I'm unsure of
myself in my approach because I haven't seen the steps distilled.
That's what I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance,
~ David
