+Eclipse Public License - v 1.0
+
+THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS ECLIPSE PUBLIC
+LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM
+CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.
+
+1. DEFINITIONS
+
+"Contribution" means:
+
+a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and documentation
+   distributed under this Agreement, and
+b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:
+    i) changes to the Program, and
+   ii) additions to the Program;
+
+   where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and are
+   distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution 'originates' from
+   a Contributor if it was added to the Program by such Contributor itself or
+   anyone acting on such Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include
+   additions to the Program which: (i) are separate modules of software
+   distributed in conjunction with the Program under their own license
+   agreement, and (ii) are not derivative works of the Program.
+
+"Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the Program.
+
+"Licensed Patents" mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are
+necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when
+combined with the Program.
+
+"Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this Agreement.
+
+"Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement,
+including all Contributors.
+
+2. GRANT OF RIGHTS
+  a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants
+     Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to
+     reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform,
+     distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and
+     such derivative works, in source code and object code form.
+  b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants
+     Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under
+     Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise
+     transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and
+     object code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination of the
+     Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by
+     the Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such combination
+     to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply
+     to any other combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per
+     se is licensed hereunder.
+  c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to
+     its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any
+     Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or other
+     intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor
+     disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity
+     based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a
+     condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each
+     Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure any other
+     intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party
+     patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it
+     is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before distributing
+     the Program.
+  d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient
+     copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright
+     license set forth in this Agreement.
+
+3. REQUIREMENTS
+
+A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under its
+own license agreement, provided that:
+
+  a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
+  b) its license agreement:
+      i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and
+         conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions of
+         title and non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of
+         merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose;
+     ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for
+         damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and
+         consequential damages, such as lost profits;
+    iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered
+         by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; and
+     iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such
+         Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable
+         manner on or through a medium customarily used for software exchange.
+
+When the Program is made available in source code form:
+
+  a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and
+  b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program.
+     Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within
+     the Program.
+
+Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution, if
+any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify the
+originator of the Contribution.
+
+4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
+
+Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with
+respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this license is
+intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who
+includes the Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner
+which does not create potential liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if
+a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such
+Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify
+every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages
+and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal
+actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the
+extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in
+connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product
+offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses
+relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order
+to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial
+Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to
+control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any
+related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate in
+any such claim at its own expense.
+
+For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product
+offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that
+Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers warranties
+related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are such
+Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the
+Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other
+Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court
+requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial
+Contributor must pay those damages.
+
+5. NO WARRANTY
+
+EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN
+"AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR
+IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE,
+NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each
+Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and
+distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of
+rights under this Agreement , including but not limited to the risks and costs
+of program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data,
+programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations.
+
+6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
+
+EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY
+CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
+SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST
+PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT,
+STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY
+OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS
+GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+7. GENERAL
+
+If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable
+law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the
+terms of this Agreement, and without further action by the parties hereto, such
+provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such
+provision valid and enforceable.
+
+If Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a
+cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program itself
+(excluding combinations of the Program with other software or hardware)
+infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted under
+Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to
+comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement and does
+not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of
+such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this Agreement terminate,
+Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon as
+reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under this Agreement
+and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and
+survive.
+
+Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement, but in
+order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and may only be
+modified in the following manner. The Agreement Steward reserves the right to
+publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from time to time.
+No one other than the Agreement Steward has the right to modify this Agreement.
+The Eclipse Foundation is the initial Agreement Steward. The Eclipse Foundation
+may assign the responsibility to serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable
+separate entity. Each new version of the Agreement will be given a
+distinguishing version number. The Program (including Contributions) may always
+be distributed subject to the version of the Agreement under which it was
+received. In addition, after a new version of the Agreement is published,
+Contributor may elect to distribute the Program (including its Contributions)
+under the new version. Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b)
+above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to the intellectual property of
+any Contributor under this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication,
+estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program not expressly granted under
+this Agreement are reserved.
+
+This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and the
+intellectual property laws of the United States of America. No party to this
+Agreement will bring a legal action under this Agreement more than one year
+after the cause of action arose. Each party waives its rights to a jury trial in
+any resulting litigation.

+## Version 5.0.0M4, 2018/09/26 ##
+
+This code brings along a change with the realm configuration. You can configure your realm now in a standardized way.  In the [readme.md](http://git.eclipse.org/c/mdmbl/org.eclipse.mdm.nucleus.git/tree/README.md) in the org.eclipse.mdm.nucleus project is described how to setup and configure a file realm for local installations. You can also configure your LDAP, AD or others.
+See the [glassfish documentation](https://javaee.github.io/glassfish/doc/4.0/security-guide.pdf)
+
+Note: The component "org.eclipse.mdm.realms" is not used any longer.

+
+#####  An overview of the API changes made :
+
+* Shopping basket:
+  - Added methods:
+    - String org.eclipse.mdm.api.base.BaseApplicationContext.getAdapterType()
+    - Map<Entity, String> org.eclipse.mdm.api.base.BaseEntityManager.getLinks(Collection<Entity>)
+  - file extensions:
+When downloading the contents of a shopping basket, a file with extension `mdm` is generated. The file extension can be changed by adding a preference with key `shoppingbasket.fileextensions`. For example the used extension can be set to `mdm-xml` by setting the value to `{ "default": "mdm-xml" }`.

+
+#####  An overview of the API changes made :
+
+* service.xml:
+ - Property `entityManagerFactoryClass` has to be changed to `org.eclipse.mdm.api.odsadapter.ODSContextFactory` for ODS Datasources.
+ - Datasource specific parameters for `NotificationService` and the freetext search parameters are now supplied by service.xml not by global.properties.
+
+
+* org.eclipse.mdm.api.base:
+ - New entry class `BaseApplicationContextFactory` instead of `BaseEntityManagerFactory`.
+ - Services can now be retrieved from `BaseApplicationContext` instead of `BaseEntityManager`.
+ - `NotificationManagerFactory` was removed; `NotficationManager` was renamed to `NotificationService`.
+ - Query package was split into query and search.
+ - Creation of Query (`ModelManager#createQuery()`) was moved from `ModelManager` to new `QueryService` class.
+ - Moved `ModelManager`, `EntityType`, `Core` and similar to subpackage `adapter`
+ - `EntityStore` and `ChildrenStore` are now top-level classes in the subpackage `adapter`
+ - Moved `FileService` to subpackage file
+ - Added methods:
+   - `ContextComponent#getContextRoot()`
+   - `ContextSensor#getContextComponent()`
+  - Introduced new (protected) method `BaseEntityFactory.createBaseEntity(Class, Core)` for creating instances of classes derived from `BaseEntity` using an already existing `Core` instance. Must be overridden in derived classes to ensure the instances can be created via the (usually package-private) Constructor(Core) of the BaseEntity-derived class. If the constructor of the class passed to `createBaseEntity`  is not accessible, the super class implementation is called to try if the constructor is accessible from there.
+  - Introduced new (protected) method `BaseEntityFactory.getCore(BaseEntity)` to extract the Core object from a BaseEntity instance.
+  - Modified the interface of BaseEntityManager: the get*Store methods have been defined as non final.
+  With that, these methods can be overriden in the OdsAdpter and be used there to access the stores without resorting directly to the core.
+  There also comments added in several places to improve the understandibility of the current implementation.
+
+
+* org.eclipse.mdm.api.default:
+ - Introduced `ApplicationContextFactory` and `ApplicationContext` which extend their base counterparts. Should be unnecessary when merging api.base and api.default repositories.
+
+
+* org.eclipse.mdm.api.odsadapter:
+ - Adapted to the changes from `api.base` and `api.default`
+
+
+* org.eclipse.mdm.nucleus:
+ - Adapted to the changes from `api.base` and `api.default`
+ - `ConnectorService` manages `ApplicationContexts` instead of `EntityManagers`
+ - Datasource specific parameters for `NotificationService` are now supplied by service.xml not by global.properties.
