Where is my EPL ?

March 6, 2008 — Antoine Toulme

I have been meaning to post that one for a long time, please pardon my dust.

I had an odd question from a STP user the other day:
“So”, he said, “what license are you guys working with ?”
It sounded too obvious. Then he added that he had browsed the website without finding the license page.

Truth is, compared to the Apache websites who always have a direct link to the license, in Eclipse you have to browse for the Legal Resources to grab your copy of the EPL.

So how about adding a link somewhere in the Phoenix template to send to our license ? If you think that is a good idea, please vote for Bug 198975 – Add a link to the EPL.

Facebox on the Eclipse website

March 6, 2008 — Antoine Toulme

I would like to be able to use Facebox on the Eclipse website, particularly our BPMN page.

Facebox is a neat Javascript library built on top of JQuery that shows images and/or HTML in nice boxes showing on top of the existing page. See the Facebox index page for examples.

Of course I would craft some kind of theme to match the Eclipse site, right now the box looks too much like a well known social website.

I opened a bug against the Eclipse website to examine possible issues regarding the Eclipse policy. Those two libraries are licensed under the MIT license.
