Ed,
Yes, because any IP violations are, in my opinion, a blocker for SimRel.
Given that others have already chimed in for a respin for Corrosion, I
take it as a given that with these additional issues there will in
fact be a respin and it ought to include the OCL and Xtext updates.
Regards,
Ed

Hi Ed
Rewrite currently available on OCL branch ewillink/539110; see
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=539110
Currently building. I presume that your request to "address with the
highest priority" is a +1 to contribute a successful OCL 6.5.0RC2a
rebuild; hopefully later this afternoon.

Ed,
Yes, I imagine that is by transitivity also a major problem. :-(
JDK code is never fair game. Fair game always depends on the
license of the source; the JDK does not have a friendly license for
any copy-and-paste efforts. Fair game must also follow attribution
rules, because we can expect the patent trolls of the world to
evolve into copyright attribution trolls. As such, no matter how
trivial, copying code from the JDK is always bad news. The source
being trivial just begs the question why a trivial thing can't be
trivially implemented without copy-and-paste!
At least the attribution rules have been followed, but of course
"copied from the JDK" is a screaming red flag for any IP reviews.
Please address this issue with highest priority. The SimRel respin
cannot be allowed to drag into Tuesday.

Ed

Hi
If Xtext has an IP issue on org.eclipse.xtext.util.Strings then
does OCL have a problem with
http://git.eclipse.org/c/ocl/org.eclipse.ocl.git/tree/plugins/org.eclipse.ocl.pivot/src/org/eclipse/ocl/pivot/utilities/StringUtil.java
which has two routines commented as e.g.
/**
* Mostly copied from {@link java.util.Properties#loadConvert} via
* {@link org.eclipse.xtext.util.Strings#convertFromJavaString}
*/
I must confess that I considered JVM code as fair game,
particularly private statics such as:
private static char toHex(int nibble) {
return hexDigit[(nibble & 0xF)];
}
/** A table of hex digits */
private static final char[] hexDigit = {
'0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','A','B','C','D','E','F'
};
that are too trivial to 'worry' about.

Karsten,
Given that Xtext 2.15 is included in SimRel and given that this
version currently *does not* pass IP approval, it seems clear that
we simply cannot release SimRel 2018-09 in its current state.
So I reluctantly give this a +1. :-(
And of course, given we're re spinning anyway, definitely +1 for
including the fix for Corrosion in that respin.
Regards,
Ed

Dear PMC & cross-project members,
the Xtext team is apologising for speaking up in the quiet week
of 2018-09 SimRel. A review on our 2.15.0 release revealed IP
issues in the code base, which required immediate action. The
issue is tracked in Bug#539108 [1]. We are solving the issue with
highest priority and will provide our fixed release to SimRel
until Monday Sep 17th.
We are hereby asking Eclipse Modeling PMC to support our request
for a respin. This could also help project Corrosion, which has
also an issue in RC2 [2].
With kind regards,
~Karsten
