+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p><b>1. DEFINITIONS</b></p>
+
+<p>"Contribution" means:</p>
+
+<p class="list">a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial
+code and documentation distributed under this Agreement, and</p>
+<p class="list">b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:</p>
+<p class="list">i) changes to the Program, and</p>
+<p class="list">ii) additions to the Program;</p>
+<p class="list">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.</p>
+
+<p>"Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes
+the Program.</p>
+
+<p>"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.</p>
+
+<p>"Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance
+with this Agreement.</p>
+
+<p>"Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under
+this Agreement, including all Contributors.</p>
+
+<p><b>2. GRANT OF RIGHTS</b></p>
+
+<p class="list">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.</p>
+
+<p class="list">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.</p>
+
+<p class="list">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.</p>
+
+<p class="list">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.</p>
+
+<p><b>3. REQUIREMENTS</b></p>
+
+<p>A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code
+form under its own license agreement, provided that:</p>
+
+<p class="list">a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this
+Agreement; and</p>
+
+<p class="list">b) its license agreement:</p>
+
+<p class="list">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;</p>
+
+<p class="list">ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors
+all liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special,
+incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;</p>
+
+<p class="list">iii) states that any provisions which differ from this
+Agreement are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other
+party; and</p>
+
+<p class="list">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.</p>
+
+<p>When the Program is made available in source code form:</p>
+
+<p class="list">a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and</p>
+
+<p class="list">b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each
+copy of the Program.</p>
+
+<p>Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained
+within the Program.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p><b>4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION</b></p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p><b>5. NO WARRANTY</b></p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p><b>6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY</b></p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p><b>7. GENERAL</b></p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>

+<h3>Applicable Licenses</h3>
+
+<p>Unless otherwise indicated, all Content made available by the Eclipse Foundation is provided to you under the terms and conditions of the Eclipse Public License Version 1.0
+   (&quot;EPL&quot;).  A copy of the EPL is provided with this Content and is also available at <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html">http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html</a>.
+   For purposes of the EPL, &quot;Program&quot; will mean the Content.</p>
+
+<p>Content includes, but is not limited to, source code, object code, documentation and other files maintained in the Eclipse Foundation source code
+   repository (&quot;Repository&quot;) in software modules (&quot;Modules&quot;) and made available as downloadable archives (&quot;Downloads&quot;).</p>
+
+<ul>
+       <li>Content may be structured and packaged into modules to facilitate delivering, extending, and upgrading the Content.  Typical modules may include plug-ins (&quot;Plug-ins&quot;), plug-in fragments (&quot;Fragments&quot;), and features (&quot;Features&quot;).</li>

+
+<h3>Use of Provisioning Technology</h3>
+
+<p>The Eclipse Foundation makes available provisioning software, examples of which include, but are not limited to, p2 and the Eclipse
+   Update Manager (&quot;Provisioning Technology&quot;) for the purpose of allowing users to install software, documentation, information and/or
+   other materials (collectively &quot;Installable Software&quot;). This capability is provided with the intent of allowing such users to
+   install, extend and update Eclipse-based products. Information about packaging Installable Software is available at <a
+       href="http://eclipse.org/equinox/p2/repository_packaging.html">http://eclipse.org/equinox/p2/repository_packaging.html</a>
+   (&quot;Specification&quot;).</p>
+
+<p>You may use Provisioning Technology to allow other parties to install Installable Software. You shall be responsible for enabling the
+   applicable license agreements relating to the Installable Software to be presented to, and accepted by, the users of the Provisioning Technology
+   in accordance with the Specification. By using Provisioning Technology in such a manner and making it available in accordance with the
+   Specification, you further acknowledge your agreement to, and the acquisition of all necessary rights to permit the following:</p>
+
+<ol>
+       <li>A series of actions may occur (&quot;Provisioning Process&quot;) in which a user may execute the Provisioning Technology
+       on a machine (&quot;Target Machine&quot;) with the intent of installing, extending or updating the functionality of an Eclipse-based
+       product.</li>
+       <li>During the Provisioning Process, the Provisioning Technology may cause third party Installable Software or a portion thereof to be
+       accessed and copied to the Target Machine.</li>
+       <li>Pursuant to the Specification, you will provide to the user the terms and conditions that govern the use of the Installable
+       Software (&quot;Installable Software Agreement&quot;) and such Installable Software Agreement shall be accessed from the Target
+       Machine in accordance with the Specification. Such Installable Software Agreement must inform the user of the terms and conditions that govern
+       the Installable Software and must solicit acceptance by the end user in the manner prescribed in such Installable Software Agreement. Upon such
+       indication of agreement by the user, the provisioning Technology will complete installation of the Installable Software.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<h3>Cryptography</h3>
+
+<p>Content may contain encryption software. The country in which you are currently may have restrictions on the import, possession, and use, and/or re-export to
+   another country, of encryption software. BEFORE using any encryption software, please check the country's laws, regulations and policies concerning the import,
+   possession, or use, and re-export of encryption software, to see if this is permitted.</p>

+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.

+\n\
+THE ECLIPSE FOUNDATION MAKES AVAILABLE SOFTWARE, DOCUMENTATION, INFORMATION AND/OR\n\
+OTHER MATERIALS FOR OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS (COLLECTIVELY "CONTENT").\n\
+USE OF THE CONTENT IS GOVERNED BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS\n\
+AGREEMENT AND/OR THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF LICENSE AGREEMENTS OR\n\
+NOTICES INDICATED OR REFERENCED BELOW.  BY USING THE CONTENT, YOU\n\
+AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE CONTENT IS GOVERNED BY THIS AGREEMENT\n\
+AND/OR THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ANY APPLICABLE LICENSE AGREEMENTS\n\
+OR NOTICES INDICATED OR REFERENCED BELOW.  IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE\n\
+TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS\n\
+OF ANY APPLICABLE LICENSE AGREEMENTS OR NOTICES INDICATED OR REFERENCED\n\
+BELOW, THEN YOU MAY NOT USE THE CONTENT.\n\
+\n\
+Applicable Licenses\n\
+\n\
+Unless otherwise indicated, all Content made available by the\n\
+Eclipse Foundation is provided to you under the terms and conditions of\n\
+the Eclipse Public License Version 1.0 ("EPL"). A copy of the EPL is\n\
+provided with this Content and is also available at http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html.\n\
+For purposes of the EPL, "Program" will mean the Content.\n\
+\n\
+Content includes, but is not limited to, source code, object code,\n\
+documentation and other files maintained in the Eclipse Foundation source code\n\
+repository ("Repository") in software modules ("Modules") and made available\n\
+as downloadable archives ("Downloads").\n\
+\n\
+       - Content may be structured and packaged into modules to facilitate delivering,\n\
+         extending, and upgrading the Content. Typical modules may include plug-ins ("Plug-ins"),\n\
+         plug-in fragments ("Fragments"), and features ("Features").\n\
+       - Each Plug-in or Fragment may be packaged as a sub-directory or JAR (Java(TM) ARchive)\n\
+         in a directory named "plugins".\n\
+       - A Feature is a bundle of one or more Plug-ins and/or Fragments and associated material.\n\
+         Each Feature may be packaged as a sub-directory in a directory named "features".\n\
+         Within a Feature, files named "feature.xml" may contain a list of the names and version\n\
+         numbers of the Plug-ins and/or Fragments associated with that Feature.\n\
+       - Features may also include other Features ("Included Features"). Within a Feature, files\n\
+         named "feature.xml" may contain a list of the names and version numbers of Included Features.\n\
+\n\
+The terms and conditions governing Plug-ins and Fragments should be\n\
+contained in files named "about.html" ("Abouts"). The terms and\n\
+conditions governing Features and Included Features should be contained\n\
+in files named "license.html" ("Feature Licenses"). Abouts and Feature\n\
+Licenses may be located in any directory of a Download or Module\n\
+including, but not limited to the following locations:\n\
+\n\
+       - The top-level (root) directory\n\
+       - Plug-in and Fragment directories\n\
+       - Inside Plug-ins and Fragments packaged as JARs\n\
+       - Sub-directories of the directory named "src" of certain Plug-ins\n\
+       - Feature directories\n\
+\n\
+Note: if a Feature made available by the Eclipse Foundation is installed using the\n\
+Provisioning Technology (as defined below), you must agree to a license ("Feature \n\
+Update License") during the installation process. If the Feature contains\n\
+Included Features, the Feature Update License should either provide you\n\
+with the terms and conditions governing the Included Features or inform\n\
+you where you can locate them. Feature Update Licenses may be found in\n\
+the "license" property of files named "feature.properties" found within a Feature.\n\
+Such Abouts, Feature Licenses, and Feature Update Licenses contain the\n\
+terms and conditions (or references to such terms and conditions) that\n\
+govern your use of the associated Content in that directory.\n\
+\n\
+THE ABOUTS, FEATURE LICENSES, AND FEATURE UPDATE LICENSES MAY REFER\n\
+TO THE EPL OR OTHER LICENSE AGREEMENTS, NOTICES OR TERMS AND CONDITIONS.\n\
+SOME OF THESE OTHER LICENSE AGREEMENTS MAY INCLUDE (BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO):\n\

+in accordance with the Specification. By using Provisioning Technology in such a manner and\n\
+making it available in accordance with the Specification, you further acknowledge your\n\
+agreement to, and the acquisition of all necessary rights to permit the following:\n\
+\n\
+       1. A series of actions may occur ("Provisioning Process") in which a user may execute\n\
+          the Provisioning Technology on a machine ("Target Machine") with the intent of installing,\n\
+          extending or updating the functionality of an Eclipse-based product.\n\
+       2. During the Provisioning Process, the Provisioning Technology may cause third party\n\
+          Installable Software or a portion thereof to be accessed and copied to the Target Machine.\n\
+       3. Pursuant to the Specification, you will provide to the user the terms and conditions that\n\
+          govern the use of the Installable Software ("Installable Software Agreement") and such\n\
+          Installable Software Agreement shall be accessed from the Target Machine in accordance\n\
+          with the Specification. Such Installable Software Agreement must inform the user of the\n\
+          terms and conditions that govern the Installable Software and must solicit acceptance by\n\
+          the end user in the manner prescribed in such Installable Software Agreement. Upon such\n\
+          indication of agreement by the user, the provisioning Technology will complete installation\n\
+          of the Installable Software.\n\

+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.

+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p><b>1. DEFINITIONS</b></p>
+
+<p>"Contribution" means:</p>
+
+<p class="list">a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial
+code and documentation distributed under this Agreement, and</p>
+<p class="list">b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:</p>
+<p class="list">i) changes to the Program, and</p>
+<p class="list">ii) additions to the Program;</p>
+<p class="list">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.</p>
+
+<p>"Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes
+the Program.</p>
+
+<p>"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.</p>
+
+<p>"Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance
+with this Agreement.</p>
+
+<p>"Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under
+this Agreement, including all Contributors.</p>
+
+<p><b>2. GRANT OF RIGHTS</b></p>
+
+<p class="list">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.</p>
+
+<p class="list">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.</p>
+
+<p class="list">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.</p>
+
+<p class="list">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.</p>
+
+<p><b>3. REQUIREMENTS</b></p>
+
+<p>A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code
+form under its own license agreement, provided that:</p>
+
+<p class="list">a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this
+Agreement; and</p>
+
+<p class="list">b) its license agreement:</p>
+
+<p class="list">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;</p>
+
+<p class="list">ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors
+all liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special,
+incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;</p>
+
+<p class="list">iii) states that any provisions which differ from this
+Agreement are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other
+party; and</p>
+
+<p class="list">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.</p>
+
+<p>When the Program is made available in source code form:</p>
+
+<p class="list">a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and</p>
+
+<p class="list">b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each
+copy of the Program.</p>
+
+<p>Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained
+within the Program.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p><b>4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION</b></p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p><b>5. NO WARRANTY</b></p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p><b>6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY</b></p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p><b>7. GENERAL</b></p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>

+   For purposes of the EPL, "Program" will mean the Content.</p>
+
+<p>Content includes, but is not limited to, source code, object code, 
+documentation and other files maintained in the Eclipse Foundation 
+source code
+   repository ("Repository") in software modules ("Modules") and made 
+available as downloadable archives ("Downloads").</p>
+
+<ul>
+       <li>Content may be structured and packaged into modules to 
+facilitate delivering, extending, and upgrading the Content.  Typical

+       <li>Each Plug-in or Fragment may be packaged as a sub-directory or JAR (Java&#8482; ARchive) in a directory named "plugins".</li>
+       <li>A Feature is a bundle of one or more Plug-ins and/or 
+Fragments and associated material.  Each Feature may be packaged as a 
+sub-directory in a directory named "features".  Within a Feature, files 
+named "feature.xml" may contain a list of the names and version numbers 
+of the Plug-ins
+      and/or Fragments associated with that Feature.</li>

+</ul>
+
+<p>Note: if a Feature made available by the Eclipse Foundation is 
+installed using the Provisioning Technology (as defined below), you must
+ agree to a license ("Feature Update License") during the
+installation process.  If the Feature contains Included Features, the 
+Feature Update License should either provide you with the terms and

+Technology
+   in accordance with the Specification. By using Provisioning 
+Technology in such a manner and making it available in accordance with 
+the
+   Specification, you further acknowledge your agreement to, and the 
+acquisition of all necessary rights to permit the following:</p>
+
+<ol>
+       <li>A series of actions may occur ("Provisioning Process") in 
+which a user may execute the Provisioning Technology
+       on a machine ("Target Machine") with the intent of installing, 
+extending or updating the functionality of an Eclipse-based
+       product.</li>
+       <li>During the Provisioning Process, the Provisioning Technology 
+may cause third party Installable Software or a portion thereof to be
+       accessed and copied to the Target Machine.</li>
+       <li>Pursuant to the Specification, you will provide to the user 
+the terms and conditions that govern the use of the Installable
+       Software ("Installable Software Agreement") and such Installable 
+Software Agreement shall be accessed from the Target
+       Machine in accordance with the Specification. Such Installable 
+Software Agreement must inform the user of the terms and conditions that
+ govern
+       the Installable Software and must solicit acceptance by the end 
+user in the manner prescribed in such Installable Software Agreement. 
+Upon such

+
+<h3>Usage Of Content</h3>
+
+<p>THE ECLIPSE FOUNDATION MAKES AVAILABLE SOFTWARE, DOCUMENTATION, INFORMATION AND/OR OTHER MATERIALS FOR OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS
+   (COLLECTIVELY &quot;CONTENT&quot;).  USE OF THE CONTENT IS GOVERNED BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR THE TERMS AND
+   CONDITIONS OF LICENSE AGREEMENTS OR NOTICES INDICATED OR REFERENCED BELOW.  BY USING THE CONTENT, YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE
+   OF THE CONTENT IS GOVERNED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ANY APPLICABLE LICENSE AGREEMENTS OR
+   NOTICES INDICATED OR REFERENCED BELOW.  IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND
+   CONDITIONS OF ANY APPLICABLE LICENSE AGREEMENTS OR NOTICES INDICATED OR REFERENCED BELOW, THEN YOU MAY NOT USE THE CONTENT.</p>
+
+<h3>Applicable Licenses</h3>
+
+<p>Unless otherwise indicated, all Content made available by the Eclipse Foundation is provided to you under the terms and conditions of the Eclipse Public License Version 1.0
+   (&quot;EPL&quot;).  A copy of the EPL is provided with this Content and is also available at <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html">http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html</a>.
+   For purposes of the EPL, &quot;Program&quot; will mean the Content.</p>
+
+<p>Content includes, but is not limited to, source code, object code, documentation and other files maintained in the Eclipse Foundation source code
+   repository (&quot;Repository&quot;) in software modules (&quot;Modules&quot;) and made available as downloadable archives (&quot;Downloads&quot;).</p>
+
+<ul>
+       <li>Content may be structured and packaged into modules to facilitate delivering, extending, and upgrading the Content.  Typical modules may include plug-ins (&quot;Plug-ins&quot;), plug-in fragments (&quot;Fragments&quot;), and features (&quot;Features&quot;).</li>
+       <li>Each Plug-in or Fragment may be packaged as a sub-directory or JAR (Java&trade; ARchive) in a directory named &quot;plugins&quot;.</li>
+       <li>A Feature is a bundle of one or more Plug-ins and/or Fragments and associated material.  Each Feature may be packaged as a sub-directory in a directory named &quot;features&quot;.  Within a Feature, files named &quot;feature.xml&quot; may contain a list of the names and version numbers of the Plug-ins
+      and/or Fragments associated with that Feature.</li>
+       <li>Features may also include other Features (&quot;Included Features&quot;). Within a Feature, files named &quot;feature.xml&quot; may contain a list of the names and version numbers of Included Features.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>The terms and conditions governing Plug-ins and Fragments should be contained in files named &quot;about.html&quot; (&quot;Abouts&quot;). The terms and conditions governing Features and
+Included Features should be contained in files named &quot;license.html&quot; (&quot;Feature Licenses&quot;).  Abouts and Feature Licenses may be located in any directory of a Download or Module
+including, but not limited to the following locations:</p>
+
+<ul>
+       <li>The top-level (root) directory</li>
+       <li>Plug-in and Fragment directories</li>
+       <li>Inside Plug-ins and Fragments packaged as JARs</li>
+       <li>Sub-directories of the directory named &quot;src&quot; of certain Plug-ins</li>
+       <li>Feature directories</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Note: if a Feature made available by the Eclipse Foundation is installed using the Provisioning Technology (as defined below), you must agree to a license (&quot;Feature Update License&quot;) during the
+installation process.  If the Feature contains Included Features, the Feature Update License should either provide you with the terms and conditions governing the Included Features or
+inform you where you can locate them.  Feature Update Licenses may be found in the &quot;license&quot; property of files named &quot;feature.properties&quot; found within a Feature.
+Such Abouts, Feature Licenses, and Feature Update Licenses contain the terms and conditions (or references to such terms and conditions) that govern your use of the associated Content in
+that directory.</p>
+
+<p>THE ABOUTS, FEATURE LICENSES, AND FEATURE UPDATE LICENSES MAY REFER TO THE EPL OR OTHER LICENSE AGREEMENTS, NOTICES OR TERMS AND CONDITIONS.  SOME OF THESE
+OTHER LICENSE AGREEMENTS MAY INCLUDE (BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO):</p>
+
+<ul>
+       <li>Eclipse Distribution License Version 1.0 (available at <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/licenses/edl-v10.html">http://www.eclipse.org/licenses/edl-v1.0.html</a>)</li>
