== What is Orbit? ==
+
−
Orbit is a project designed to be a repository for third party libraries that are approved for use in Eclipse projects. If the incoming libraries are not already bundles then Orbit committers will work to create a bundle that is suitable for use in Eclipse projects.
+
  
−
== Does Orbit replace or affect the Eclipse Foundation legal process? ==
 
−
NO!  Orbit holds only libraries that have been approved by the standard legal process.  Projects must still follow this process to request permission to use libraries in their releases.
 
  
−
== If a library is approved for use in "all" projects, do I still have to go through the legal process? ==
+
== Usage ==
−
As of this writing, all projects must request permission to use '''any''' third party libraries.  More generally, this is a question for the legal team.  Orbit does not affect the IP policy and legal process.

== How do I become a committer in Orbit? ==
+
== Legal ==
−
Orbit committers are generally committers from other Eclipse projects that have a need for a third party library.  These people come to Orbit with an approved library and propose to include it in Orbit.  If they are not already a committer and their project does not have any committers, they can become a committer by agreeing to bundle and maintain the new library.  Accordingly, they will then be responsible for the care and feeding of that library and the corresponding bundle.

== How does Orbit manage multiple versions of the same library?==
+
[[Category:Orbit]]
−
Luckily OSGi supports multiple versions of the same bundle installed and running at the same time so this does not present any particular runtime problems.  At development time however there is a challenge of project naming.  Since the Eclipse convention has been to use the bundle symbolic name as the name of the project, there would be a conflict if two versions of the same project need to be in the workspace at the same time.  We still need to weigh the options here.
