Created attachment 180765 [details] Shellscript to find all 3rd party licenses in a local install Build ID: Helios SR1 When mining about.html files, I found the following (non-exhaustive) list of about.html files which have broken hyperlinks to the local copy of a 3rd party license. Each of the "filename not matched" below refers to an <a href="..."> statement in about.html which is not matched by an actual file in the plugin. In most cases, the link is broken due to a case mismatch ('.txt' vs '.TXT' or missing file extension, sometimes a completely different name. I think that respective about.html's should be fixed. ---Orbit--- org.apache.commons.httpclient_3.1.0.v201005080502.jar : about.html caution: filename not matched: about_files/NOTICE.txt org.apache.xerces_2.9.0.v201005080400.jar : about.html caution: filename not matched: about_files/LICENSE.txt caution: filename not matched: about_files/NOTICE-Xerces-J caution: filename not matched: about_files/NOTICE-xml-apis ---Equinox--- org.eclipse.equinox.registry_3.5.0.v20100503.jar : about.html caution: filename not matched: about_files/NOTICE.TXT org.eclipse.equinox.p2.updatesite_1.0.201.R36x_v20100823.jar : about.html caution: filename not matched: about_files/NOTICE.TXT org.eclipse.equinox.ds_1.2.1.R36x_v20100803.jar : about.html caution: filename not matched: about_files/NOTICE.TXT I'm attaching my (arguably quite hacked) shellscript by which I found those culprits. Interesting is the grep..sed combination to read the href from about.html. It may be interesting to apply a similar shellscript to the Orbit releng tests, or, on a larger scale, to the Indigo releng code such that broken hyperlinks are found in the future. I'm going to clone a separate bug for the Equinox culprits.
Adding David to CC to address Xerces issue. Adding Chris to CC to address HTTPClient issue.
The concrete culprits mentioned in this bug have been fixed. I have filed bug 332005 as a follow-up to improve Orbit releng, such that broken hyperlinks are found in the future. I don't know whether the fixes here should be backported for Helios SR2 ?
