| The Eclipse Top Level Project (the “Eclipse Project”) is an open source | |
| software development project dedicated to providing a robust, full-featured, commercial-quality, | |
| and freely available industry platform for the development of highly | |
| integrated tools. This document describes the mission, scope, and | |
| organization of this Top Level Project and its constituent Projects, and | |
| roles and responsibilities of the participants.<o:p></o:p></span></p> | |
| <p><st1:place><b>Mission</b></st1:place><br> | |
| Eclipse is a kind of universal tool platform - an open extensible IDE for | |
| anything and yet nothing in particular. The real value comes from tool | |
| plug-ins that "teach" Eclipse how to work with things - java files, | |
| web content, graphics, video - almost anything one can imagine. Eclipse | |
| allows tool builders to independently develop tools that integrate with other | |
| people's tools so seamlessly you can't tell where one tool ends and another | |
| starts.</p> | |
| <p>The success of Eclipse depends on how well it enables a wide range of tool | |
| builders to build best of breed integrated tools. But the real vision of | |
| Eclipse as an industry platform is only realized if these tools from | |
| different tool builders can be combined together by users to suit their unique | |
| requirements, in ways that the tool builders never even imagined. </p> | |
| <p>The mission of the Eclipse Project is to adapt and evolve the Eclipse | |
| technology to meet the needs of the Eclipse tool building community and its | |
| users, so that the vision of Eclipse as an industry platform is realized.</p> | |
| <p><b>Scope</b><br> | |
| The Eclipse Project encompasses both the Eclipse platform technology itself, | |
| and a set of tools that together form the software development kit (SDK) for | |
| building Eclipse-based tools. The Eclipse Project will be structured into the | |
| following Projects which comprise the Eclipse Project, and are overseen by | |
| the Eclipse PMC:</p> | |
| <ul type=disc> | |
| <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt: | |

| </ul> | |
| <p>The PMC Lead is appointed by the Board. The initial PMC is selected by the | |
| PMC Lead. Thereafter, to become a member of the PMC, an individual must be | |
| nominated by another member of the PMC, and unanimously approved by all PMC | |
| members.</p> | |
| <p>In the unlikely event that a member of the PMC becomes disruptive to the | |
| process or ceases to contribute for an extended period, the member may be | |
| removed by unanimous vote of remaining PMC members.<span style="mso-spacerun: | |
| yes"> </span>PMC members may resign at any time by delivering notice of | |
| their resignation to the PMC Lead.</p> | |
| <p>The PMC is responsible for producing and maintaining the Project Charter. | |
| Development must conform to any rules or processes outlined in the Charter, | |
| so a change to the development process may necessitate a change to the | |
| Charter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Changes to the Charter | |
| are approved by the Board.</p> | |
| <p>The work of the PMC is shared by the PMC members. All PMC members are | |
| expected to contribute actively. In particular, PMC members are expected to | |
| take responsibility for overseeing certain areas of work in the Project, and | |
| reporting to the PMC on these areas.</p> | |
| <p>Active participation in the user newsgroups and the appropriate developer | |
| mailing lists is a responsibility of all PMC members, and is critical to the | |
| success of the Project. PMC members are required to monitor the main Project | |
| mailing list, and the developer mailing lists for all Projects and components | |
| they are overseeing.</p> | |
| <p><b>Roles</b><br> | |
| The Projects under this Charter are operated as meritocracies -- the more you | |
| contribute, and the higher the quality of your contribution, the more you are | |
| allowed to do. However with this comes increased responsibility.</p> | |
| <p><b>Users</b><br> | |
| Users are the people who use the products that the Project produces. People | |
| in this role aren't contributing code, but they are using the products, | |
| reporting bugs, and making feature requests and suggestions. Users are | |
| encouraged to participate through the user newsgroup(s), asking questions, | |
| providing suggestions, and helping other users. Users are also encouraged to | |
| report problem reports using the bug tracking system. </p> | |
| <p><b>Developers</b><br> | |
| Users who contribute code or documentation become developers. Developers are | |
| the people who contribute code, fixes, documentation, or other work that goes | |
| into the product. Developers are also encouraged to participate in the user | |
| newsgroup(s), and should monitor the developer mailing list associated with | |
| their area of contribution. When appropriate, developers may also contribute | |
| to development design discussions related to their area of contribution. | |
| Developers are expected to be proactive in reporting problems in the bug tracking | |
| system.</p> | |
| <p><b>Committers</b><br> | |
| Developers who give frequent and valuable contributions to a Project, or | |
| component of a Project (in the case of large Projects), can have their status | |
| promoted to that of a "Committer" for that Project or component | |
| respectively. A Committer has write access to the source code repository for | |
| the associated Project (or component), and gains voting rights allowing them | |
| to affect the future of the Project (or component).</p> | |
| <p>In order for a Developer to become a Committer on a particular Project | |
| overseen by the PMC, another Committer for the same Project (or component as | |
| appropriate) can nominate that Developer or the Developer can ask to be | |
| nominated. Once a Developer is nominated, the Committers for the Project (or | |
| component) will vote. If there are at least 3 positive votes and no negative | |
| votes, the Developer is recommended to the PMC for commit privileges. If the | |
| PMC also approves, the Developer is converted into a Committer and given | |
| write access to the source code repository for that Project (or component). | |
| Becoming a Committer is a privilege that is earned by contributing and | |
| showing discipline and good judgement. It is a responsibility that should be | |
| neither given nor taken lightly.</p> | |
| <p>At times, Committers may go inactive for a variety of reasons. The | |
| decision making process of the Project relies on active committers who | |
| respond to discussions and votes in a constructive and timely manner. The PMC | |
| is responsible for ensuring the smooth operation of the Project. A Committer | |
| that is disruptive, does not participate actively, or has been inactive for | |
| an extended period may have his or her commit status removed by the PMC.</p> | |
| <p>Active participation in the user newsgroup and the appropriate developer | |
| mailing lists is a responsibility of all Committers, and is critical to the | |
| success of the Project. Committers are required to monitor and contribute to | |
| the user newsgroup.</p> | |
| <p>Committers are required to monitor the developer mailing list associated | |
| with all Projects and components for which they have commit privileges. This | |
| is a condition of being granted commit rights to the Project or component. It | |
| is mandatory because committers must participate in votes (which in some | |
| cases require a certain minimum number of votes) and must respond to the | |
| mailing list in a timely fashion in order to facilitate the smooth operation | |
| of the Project. When a Committer is granted commit rights they will be added | |
| to the appropriate mailing lists. A Committer must not be unsubscribed from a | |
| developer mailing list unless their associated commit privileges are also | |
| removed.</p> | |
| <p>Committers are required to track, participate in, and vote on, relevant | |
| discussions in their associated Projects and components. There are three | |
| voting responses: +1 (yes), -1 (no, or veto), and 0 (abstain).</p> | |
| <p>Committers are responsible for proactively reporting problems in the bug | |
| tracking system, and annotating problem reports with status information, | |
| explanations, clarifications, or requests for more information from the | |
| submitter. Committers are responsible for updating problem reports when they | |
| have done work related to the problem.</p> | |
| <p><b>Projects</b><br> | |
| The work under this Top Level Project is further organized into Projects. New | |
| Projects must be significant works consistent with the mission of the Top | |
| Level Project, be recommended by the PMC, and confirmed by the EMO. Projects | |
| can be discontinued by decision of the Board.</p> | |
| <p>When a new Project is created, the PMC nominates a Project lead to act as | |
| the technical leader and nominates the initial set of Committers for the | |
| Project, and these nominations are approved by the EMO.<span | |
| style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Project leads are accountable to the | |
| PMC for the success of their Project.</p> | |
| <p><b>Project Components</b><br> | |
| The PMC may decide to divide a Project further into components. If a Project | |
| is divided into components, commit privileges are normally granted at the | |
| component level, and the committers for a given component vote on issues | |
| specific to that component. Components are established and discontinued by | |
| the PMC. When the PMC creates a component it appoints a component lead to act | |
| as the technical leader and names the initial set of Committers for the | |
| component. The component lead is designated as a committer for the Project | |
| and represents the component in discussions and votes pertaining to the | |
| Project as a whole. Component Committers do not participate in votes at the | |
| level of the Project as a whole, unless they are also the component lead.</p> | |
| <p><b>Ports</b><br> | |
| For components that contain platform-specific code (such as SWT), it may be | |
| advantageous to allow developers to work on a port of the component to a new | |
| platform without requiring that they already be committers for the component. | |
| In this case the main code base is known as the component "core", | |
| and the port code base is known as a component "port". The decision | |
| to set up a port is made by the PMC. When a new port of a component is | |
| created, the PMC appoints a Port Lead, and an initial set of committers who | |
| will have commit and voting privileges specifically for the port. The port is | |
| done under the auspices of the core component, and all committers for the | |
| core component automatically also have commit and voting privileges on the | |
| port. Normally the Component Lead will also be the Port Lead.</p> | |
| <p><b>Infrastructure</b><br> | |
| The PMC works with the EMO to ensure the required infrastructure for the | |
| Project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The Project | |
| infrastructure will include, at minimum:</p> | |

| <p><b>The Development Process</b><br> | |
| Each Project lead must produce a development plan for the release cycle, and | |
| the development plan must be approved by the PMC and by a majority of | |
| Committers of the Project.</p> | |
| <p>Each Project must identify, and make available on its web site, the | |
| requirements and prioritizations it is working against in the current release | |
| cycle. In addition, each Project must post a release plan showing the date | |
| and content of the next major release, including any major milestones, and | |
| must keep this plan up to date.</p> | |
| <p>The Committers of a Project or component decide which changes may be | |
| committed to the master code base of a Project or component respectively. | |
| Three +1 ('yes' votes) with no -1 ('no' votes or vetoes) are needed to | |
| approve a code change. Vetoes must be followed by an explanation for the veto | |
| within 24 hours or the veto becomes invalid. All votes are conducted via the | |
| developer mailing list associated with the Project or component.</p> | |
| <p>Special rules may be established by the PMC for Projects or components | |
| with fewer than three Committers. For efficiency, some code changes from some | |
| contributors (e.g. feature additions, bug fixes) may be approved in advance, | |
| or approved in principle based on an outline of the work, in which case they | |
| may be committed first and changed as needed, with conflicts resolved by | |
| majority vote of the Committers of the Project or component, as applicable. | |
| More restrictive rules for releasing changes may be established by the PMC | |
| near the end of release cycles or for maintenance streams.</p> | |
| <p>The master copy of the code base must reside on the Project web site where | |
| it is accessible to all users, developers and committers. Committers must | |
| check their changes and new work into the master code base as promptly as | |
| possible (subject to any check-in voting rules that may be in effect) in | |
| order to foster collaboration among widely distributed groups and so that the | |
| latest work is always available to everyone. The PMC is responsible for | |
| working with the Eclipse Foundation to establish a release engineering and | |
| build process to ensure that builds can be reliably produced on a regular and | |
| frequent basis from the master code base and made available for download from | |
| the Project web site.</p> | |
| <p>The PMC is responsible for establishing the level of testing appropriate | |
| for each Project, and approving the test plans.</p> | |
| <p>All development technical discussions are conducted using the development | |
| mailing lists. If discussions are held offline, then a summary must be posted | |
| to the mailing list to keep the other committers informed.</p> | |
| <p><b>Licensing</b><br> | |
