Thanks a lot, Wayne. Your clear statement is what I was hoping for. This helps a lot :-)

FWIW, the operating system and virtual machine are technically dependencies, but we classify them "exempt pre-reqs" per the Guidelines for the Review of Third Party Dependencies<https://eclipse.org/org/documents/Eclipse_Policy_and_Procedure_for_3rd_Party_Dependencies_Final.pdf> (implied, because we don't bother with actual CQs). This is easy to think about in the context of a monolithic packaged deliverable. Basically anything that's in that hypothetical monolithic package must be taken through the Eclipse IP Due Diligence Process. It's a little harder to think about when you distribute, say, a Maven JAR. Strictly speaking, you are only distributing that one JAR. But in the process of resolving that JAR, the consumer will need all sorts of other third party content; this content is all "pre-req dependencies" that we need the Eclipse IP Team to review. Perhaps the most general way of thinking about it is that you need a CQ for all third party content related to your project code that will end up in a product built using your project's technology. It's on this basis that we can, for example, categorize build and test dependencies<https://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/IP/Test_and_Build_Dependencies> as "works with". I suspect, however, that I'm venturing off topic...

Some of these components themselves rely on many other components. We are often asked, whether the project needs to create CQs for all of these transitive dependencies as well (given that they are not optional but required during runtime). The project handbook [1] states that "All third-party libraries required by project code will have to be checked and approved by the IP Team." Following is a list of cases which constitute a "library required by the project". That list is described as "non-exhaustive" and in fact does not explicitly mention transitive dependencies. My understanding is that transitive deps definitely need to be checked/approved, but I would like to get some feedback e.g. frmo Wayne whether this is actually the case. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards Kai Hudalla Chief Software Architect Bosch Software Innovations GmbH Ullsteinstraße 128 12109 Berlin GERMANY www.bosch-si.com<http://www.bosch-si.com> Registered Office: Berlin, Registration Court: Amtsgericht Charlottenburg; HRB 148411 B Chairman of the Supervisory Board: Dr.-Ing.
