Andrew,
We have collectively created a great cathedral, but when one looks
closely at the bricks, it's also a house of cards. Small teams with no
funding currently keep the cards in place. Pull a card off the top, and
the cathedral will be less pretty. Pull card out from lower down and
the edifice crumbles.
One really has to ask, why should the UML "team" fix problems for free
when there are multi-billion dollar/euro corporations using it without
contributing a penny? It's completely beyond dysfunctional.
Thanks for being responsive. In the best case, your contributions
don't transitively depend on BIRT's unsigned contributions...
Regards,
Ed

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?*

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.pngand here
https://help.eclipse.org/2019-09/topic/org.eclipse.mat.ui.help/tasks/listbiggestobjects.htmlis
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
