Description Hiroyuki Okamoto

2010-10-20 02:59:28 EDT

Build Identifier: 

I created a new widget for Nebula project. The widget is org.eclipse.nebula.widgets.flow.Flow. It displays a list of images in 3D. Originally it was a part of 3D History Thumbnail Viewer project on OpenNTF.org. Now I split the widget code from the project and created it as a widget.

Flow widget requires JOGL, so it requires the IP review for it. 

Screenshot is here:

3D History Thumbnail Viwer:

3D History Thumbnail Viewer was reviewed by IBM IP.

Reproducible: Always

It looks nice but I see one problem - you have a dependency on JOGL which is as of today NOT approved as a 3rd party dependency. All we can do is to way for JOGL to pass the IP-Review (CQ 2840) which is uncertain because of IP-Problems

To resolve the JOGL issue, I think we could do 2 options:

1) remove JOGL libs and define JOGL as a prereq that the application developer needs to add JOGL libs (like Snippet209 in org.eclipse.swt.snippets)

PROS: 
no need to bundle JOGL libs.

CONS: 
we would still need to go thru IP review (since Flow code calls JOGL API)


or
2) replace JOGL code with OS OpenGL API in Flow widget. 

PROS: 
no need to call JOGL API, that is, no problem with IP.

CONS: 
every platform has different Flow code (like, using wgl for Win32, NSGL for Cocoa, AGL for Carbon, GLX for gtk)
