The org.eclipse.license question was kind of a stupid one I must admit.  I'm well aware of the CBI repository, using it as the basis against which to validate license correctness, but I got completely sidetracked thinking this thing used by the platform must from some platform repository.  Silly me, and thanks for all the friendly help on that one!

__________________________

As a follow up question.  Where do the platform's products come from?  I can't find any corresponding .product files.

The reason I ask is that the only valid licenses in the platform's p2 repos are the ones that come from EMF and ECF.  All other licenses are corrupted in some way. This naturally leads to the assumption that this is something that Oomph can fix or address:

  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=549523

But it is not something I can fix.  It must be fixed at the source of the bad license.

I believe I tracked down the source of most of the bad licenses in the platform's repos, but not for the products; these have yet two more different variants of the SUA 2.0.

If someone could enlighten me on where the products come from, then I'll be able to make progress to eliminate at least this one source of end-user annoyance.

Regards,
Ed

How about searching for org.eclipse.license eclipse git repo
and then clicking on the 1st link?

    Ed, you recently taught us to use the eclipse.org index for
    finding the
    sources of Java types. It can help with that question, too.

    Using the "Discover provided capabilities" dialog from the Oomph
    repository browser with the input "org.eclipse.license" we can
    find jars
    with the URL
    http://download.eclipse.org/cbi/updates/license/2.0.2-SNAPSHOT and
    similar, pointing us to the "cbi" project.

    Given that information, we can ask gerrit to find
    "org.eclipse.license"
    in repositories related to "cbi":
    https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/q/projects:cbi+org.eclipse.license. That
    shows several related source changes.

    Of course I would like to know if anyone uses other ways to solve
    such a
    puzzle. :)

    Ciao, Michael
