Fred,

We're definitely on the path to greatness again.? Many teams have taken 
action so the RC1 report is much improved:

Special thanks to the Eclipse Collections team who I know invested 
significant time.

There are unfortunately some hold-outs that continue to reflect poorly 
on our group's results:

These outstanding bugs are open for each of the bad license problems 
because it appears that these contributors are not reading cross-projects:

*Please pay attention t4me, uml2, m2e, m2e-wtp, mylyn docs, and xwt 
teams.*

Also, given that the Reporting package has been removed I would 
recommend removing BIRT itself from SimRel.?? This content is more than 
two years old with bad licenses and with the only remaining unsigned 
content. ? I don't hold out hope that there will be a new build so I've 
*not *opened a Bugzilla. *

*Does BIRT removal affect anyone?*

Regards,
Ed

Yes, Eclipse Memory Analyzer uses BIRT for graphing of memory usage. We 
would not have any pie charts if BIRT was removed, both dynamic charts in 
the overview pane and HTML charts in reports. The pie charts shown on our 
home page https://www.eclipse.org/mat/ and here 
https://www.eclipse.org/mat/about/overview.png and here 
https://help.eclipse.org/2019-09/topic/org.eclipse.mat.ui.help/tasks/listbiggestobjects.html
 
is generated by BIRT.

Fortunately the graphing is in a separate feature, so it would not break 
the rest of the tool, but it is useful for us. We only have a small team 
and don't have the time or expertise to use a new graphing package. If it 
has to be removed then we need plenty of notice, and ideally some help in 
writing code to use a replacement. Please keep BIRT. 

Thanks,

Andrew Johnson
Committer, Eclipse Memory Analyzer project
