Aleksandar,
Thanks again for the constructive suggestion. I experimented with
reducing BIRT's contribution to just the chart feature:
https://git.eclipse.org/r/154052
That build passes and that also solves the "who will do this problem". :-P
In addition, I fixed all the broken links in simrel.aggr. Many people
are editing textually; removing a feature from your *.aggrcon breaks the
links from the custom categories to those features, or shifts them to a
different feature. It's hard ensure one doesn't introduce errors when
there are errors to begin with. :-(
Note that I'm not 100% sure if this change to BIRT's contribution also
avoids all the unsigned content, but I believe it does. I.e., installing
this feature in an IDE does not appear to install the two unsigned
bundles older Orbit bundles.
Of course I'm not so comfortable changing someone else's *.aggrcon, so
if there is someone from the BIRT team paying attention, please speak up.
Failing that, what do we, the active participants, think of this
approach/change?
Regards,
Ed

Subject:
Fred,
We're definitely on the path to greatness again.? Many teams
have taken
action so the RC1 report is much improved:
https://download.eclipse.org/oomph/archive/reports/download.eclipse.org/releases/2019-12/http___download.eclipse.org_releases_2019-12_201912061000.html
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.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.
Is it a possibility BIRT contribution to be shrinked to charting
feature only? IIRC chart was separate feature in birt . We moved
to swtchart from BIRT chart in Linux Tools and never looked back.
