Open Source

A Great Start to 2016

Thursday, January 14, 2016 - 15:22 by Mike Milinkovich

Yesterday was quietly one of the biggest days ever for Eclipse. That is because of three new project proposals that went live. It’s certainly unusual for us to have three new projects at once, but I’m not sure if it’s unprecedented. However, I am really excited about these projects, and what they mean for the future of the Eclipse community.

Eclipse Ships Luna SR1a Git Security Release

Monday, January 12, 2015 - 10:01 by Mike Milinkovich

Several weeks ago, the Git community announced a new 2.2.1 release which fixed a serious security vulnerability. You can read more here and here. The Eclipse JGit project had their fix available the day that the vulnerability was announced.

Eclipse Cloud Development: The FAQ

Monday, October 27, 2014 - 08:00 by Mike Milinkovich

This morning, the Eclipse Foundation announced a new industry initiative focused on building tooling platforms for the cloud. The team prepared an FAQ, but I thought it might be helpful to publish it here as well.

JavaOne: The Eclipse Inside

I spent last week at JavaOne in San Francisco, and I thought I would share a few things about the event that might be of interest to the Eclipse community.

Eclipse Contributor License Agreements Are Live

Monday, June 17, 2013 - 13:35 by Mike Milinkovich

As we started talking about back in February, the Eclipse Foundation is doing a major overhaul of our IP processes. With the Kepler release now firmly in its end-game, the time has come to start rolling this out.

In February, I identified three major pieces of work that needed to get done:

Community Review of the Eclipse Public License

Friday, May 31, 2013 - 11:37 by Mike Milinkovich

The Eclipse Public License, and its predecessor the Common Public License have been in existence for around 12 years now. A lot has changed since the EPL’s introduction in 2004, and the time has come for a review to ensure it remains current. As a result, we are going to kick off a public process to solicit input on the license, and discuss possible revisions.

A Major Overhaul of Eclipse’s IP Process: CLAs, signed-off-by and more

Thursday, February 21, 2013 - 08:00 by Mike Milinkovich

I’m very happy to announce that we are going to be making some fairly significant changes to the workflows and processes around how contributions flow into Eclipse projects, and how Eclipse committers will process them. The good news is that we think that the new approaches are going to make things a lot easier for everyone.

JRuby Moves to the EPL

Wednesday, February 13, 2013 - 15:41 by Mike Milinkovich

I am very happy to report that after a little bit of conversation, the JRuby project has moved from the Common Public License (CPL) to the Eclipse Public License (EPL). So as of this moment, JRuby is tri-licensed under the EPL/LGPL/GPL. This is an excellent reminder to all remaining CPL-licensed projects (hello JUnit! – discussion thread here) to consider re-licensing under the EPL.
