[VOTE] Xindice Eclipse Plugin

[Vadim Gritsenko <va...@reverycodes.com>]

Hi All,

There are couple of issues with the Eclipse plug-in which is in the 
Xindice scratchpad:

  (a) It is not Apache - licensed. It bears copyright "Etish Limited 
2002" in the source files.
  (b) Nobody supports it, makes builds, updates it for the latest 
Eclipse, etc.
  (c) It is derived from Attrezzo plugin hosted on the Sourceforge, 
which is not maintained also.


So, we have couple of ways of dealing with this:

1) Somebody steps up and maintains the plugin in Xindice CVS.
This will include (a) contacting original authors so they sign software 
grant to transfer copyright; (b) testing plugin with current versions of 
Eclipse and Xindice; (c) providing binary builds of the plugin.

2) Somebody steps up and maintains plugin on the Sourceforge.
There is no need to change the license, and it should be removed then 
from Xindice CVS. Xindice website will link to it.

3) Nobody steps up and maintains.
We should remove plugin from the Xindice CVS.

Please place your votes, or other suggestions, thoughts.
"+1" votes for number (1) or (2) would mean that you are volunteering :-)

+1 for #3: if no one steps up (quickly...), I'd remove it from CVS 
(including ,v files).
