Remus/Elimination of IP Blockers
There are some major issues which will prevent the Remus Developers to commit their sources to the Eclipse Repository. This page should track the status of the issues.
Icons
Most of the icons are part of the commercial icon set from Incors[1]. This icons needs to completely replaced by icons which license is compatible with the EPL. In addition we have to think about creating our own icons (regarding icons where we cannot find any adequate free alternative).
HTML Editor
The current HTML Editor is a very important widget in this project. The current implementation uses an embedded tinyMCE editor, which is licensed under LGPL, which is not compatible with the EPL. We have to replace tinyMCE with CKEditor which is already approved.
Status: We started replacing the underlying JavaScript component and are using CkEditor[2]. Plan is to host this widget under the Mylyn project, for a trackback see bug 319018
SourceCode Pretty Printer
The underlying source code formatter for the information type "SourceCode" is based on the bundles from Eclipse-Colorer[3] which is licensed under MIT, which is not compatible with the EPL. We're lookign for an alternative.
Status: SourceCode won't be part of the Eclipse project, providing the bundle from a third-party.
Microsoft Outlook Connector
The outlook connector uses a commercial library to communicate with the local outlook instance. The license prohibits any sharing.
Status: The Outlook connector won't be part of the Eclipse project, providing the bundle from a third-party.
