I will read through the link provided, thanks.

Regarding test code:

Yep, I have test code that I used for creating the screenshots etc. I can
re-work some of that code to make them snippet-able. Should be very easy.

Regarding ownership;

The widgets have been used in two companies, however, one has gone under and
no longer exists in any way (the software went down with it) and in both
cases I gave them a copy of the code with a private license that stated that
the code was mine and that they were only allowed to use or modify it for
the project for which it was being used and no re-distribution or otherwise
was allowed. Am I correct in assuming then that there is no need for any
release signing as the code has been 100% mine all along? My license was
written exactly as follows and was at the top of each affected source file:

--
Written by Emil Crumhorn. Private License. This widget has been allowed full
use in [project name] by [company name] and may be distributed as a part of
[project name]. Standalone and/or re-distribution in a different project or
application is disallowed.
--

In summary:
- Gantt chart => Only used in company that went under. I re-used some code
for a completely different widget, but there is really no similarity between
the two widgets at all.
- Button composite => Only used in company that went under.
- Combo box => Used in both.

So it's only really one widget that's in question, if there is a question.

Do let me know,
Emil

 Emil,

Peter pretty much got it right.  The widgets look very cool.  I think they
would make great additions.

The first things I would want to make sure is that you feel confident that
the code will pass an IP review successfully so the code can become EPL-ed.
Also, you will need to get an employer committer consent form completed.
Please see section 5.2 of the following link:

http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/new-committer.php

If thats all good then we can move on to a vote for inclusion.  I see you
can download the code from your website.  Are there any sample applications
or snippets that show the widgets?

Regards,
-Chris

 Those widgets look great!  The gantt chart in particular would be a very
welcome addition to my own applications.  I would love to see them as part
of Nebula.



My understanding of the process (such as it is) is that you would need to
re-license the code and resources for the widgets under EPL and show that
you have full copyrights over them.  I believe that you will need to certify
that the work is yours and possibly get a statement of release from any
employers that might have claim to the code.  Once that is cleared up, the
code can be migrated to the Eclipse CVS servers, and the Nebula homepage can
get some content added.



Nebula is organized somewhat like its namesake astronomical phenomenon –
which is to say, hardly at all.  Widget contributors generally maintain
their own code, unless they find someone else who agrees to take over.  Keep
in mind that there is really no "project team" for Nebula, but just a
loosely associated bunch of folks, working on their own stuff.



I hope to see your code up on eclipse.org soon!
