Re: Eclipse Update Site licenses for TextMarker
Re: Eclipse update site for textmarker:
It shows 3 license files, but maybe is still missing something.
It shows 2 for the Eclipse license (2 version dates), and
the Apache v2.0 license.
But I thought the TextMarker binary build had other things needing additional
licenses embedded in it? Those licenses need to be included and shown to the
user in the Eclipse accept-license dialog, somehow.
The Eclipse installer has the ability to resolve dependencies at install time,
fetching OSGi components from other repositories that Eclipse knows about. If
it's possible, that would be a good packaging for the dependent components with
other licenses. (I'm guessing that you looked into that and found it was not
possible, and therefore bundled things into your Plugin Jars.)
When the license is shown, there may be 2 ways to have Eclipse install show it.
1) as a separate license - meaning, in the window where Eclipse shows licenses,
on the left panel there would be multiple lines.
2) as a chain of licenses shown together in one window on the right panel where
Eclipse is showing licenses.
I have a very slight preference for style 1) if it is do-able... (I haven't
investigated this).

I haven't found a way to implement 1) yet and fixed it with 2) for now.

Whoops, I forgot that.

I haven't found anything and other options were less confortable. I will
do some research again, but I am not optimistic.

There is no title. Instead, the first line of the license text is used.
We can change this also for the other uima features (I have copied their
license string for the TextMarker feature).

Re: Eclipse Update Site licenses for TextMarker

One more thing - the other licenses show a one-line "title" in the left window
(of the Eclipse license acceptance screen), and the license in the right window.
For the text marker license, the "title" seems to be the first few words of the
license.
(Not a blocker, but would be nice to fix).
