Description

The Eclipse Orbit project  http://www.eclipse.org/orbit/ provides a set of EPL-approved commonly used libraries such as Apache's Commons and Log4j. We should bundle these with EclipseTrader instead of maintaing our own packages.

Dependencies to these libraries should be set as imported packages instead of required plugins, to allow third-party to provide custom packages.

  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Resolution set to wontfix

Orbit packages are not very well suited for our needs. The declared scope of the Orbit project is to provide third party libraries to Eclipse projects and not for other projects. Updates, fixes and new packages must be requested by Eclipse projects that are using Orbit.

Better continue to bundle our own packages.
