Description

It has been requested here:

http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201801.mbox/%3CC4C5D5C4-AB44-4AFE-ADE2-9E91F593A9B3%40classsoftware.com%3E

and here:

http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201801.mbox/%3C157E0E80-9984-4AB5-8AE5-E76C4668D53E%40classsoftware.com%3E

 

That we should check if NetBeans can use "org.eclipse.osgi_3.9.1.v20140110-1610.jar":

http://hg.netbeans.org/binaries/E5DDC5E827D3D62E7BE9F7E32927CA01F2839971-org.eclipse.osgi_3.9.1.v20140110-1610.jar

 

My understanding is that the concern here is the license of the file. To quote the relevant note from the e-mail:

platform/modules/ext/org.eclipse.osgi_3.9.1.v20140110-1610.jar 
- I’m not sure if the OSGi license is compatible with the Apache one. It’s not listed
in Category A/B/X you may need to ask on legal discuss. It may be under EPL but not 100% sure.

 

The license appears to be in an "about.html" file inside the jar. (I can attach it if desired.)

 

Thanks.
