Description David Green

Comply with "Eclipse.org policy on use of 3rd party dependencies":http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/Eclipse_Policy_and_Procedure_for_3rd_Party_Dependencies_Final.pdf

Though it's up to the PMC, according to the policy, we likely fall under the "prerequisite" category, which requires:
* PMC must document prerequisite dependency
** discussion about prerequisite versus "works with" must be transparent
* Additions to IP log to indicate dependency
* PMC must review issues wrt license compatibility - hopefully we can piggy-back off the work that was done for SWT
* EMO must declare/approve dependency - again, can we just piggy-back off SWT?
* EMO must determine if it falls into "exempt" prerequisite category
** this should be a no-brainer, since Windows is listed as an example of an exempt prerequisite
** if exempt, it doesn't require IP review

The search component (see bug 349351) would like to make use of JNI to access Winows APIs, specifically:
* msado15.dll
* afx.h
* afxwin.h
* afxext.h
* afxdtctl.h
* afxcmn.h
* windows.h
* iostream
* jni.h
* SDKDDKVer.h

this component is also linking against MFC

Sounds like we are good here and don't need a separate CQ: http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/mylyn-pmc/msg00081.html.

Thanks Steffen, that's great news.

Comment 4 David Green

are we ok to go ahead with a pre-req, or does this have to be a works-with?

Comment 5 Steffen Pingel

My understanding is that it's an "exempt prerequisite" so we can proceed without additional paperwork.
