JBTIS-531: Provides the bouncycastle dummy plugin to share in Locus

[phantomjinx]

• Provides a stub plugin for the satisfying of dependencies to the Apache Directory plugins in the JBT-IS target platform

+1 Looks good to me - like the name change from dummy to stub

[mickaelistria]

-100 (unless I missed something). Orbit has a org.bouncycastle.bcprov bundle that contains the necessary package. There is no need to put that in Locus, just consume the bundle from our Orbit mirror in your TP.

[phantomjinx]

@mickaelistria So how is that bundle 'allowed' to be distributed when the entire point of Designer's stub was to avoid exporting encryption algorithms due to US ITAR restrictions? See TEIIDDES-2667 for the original discussion.

[mickaelistria]

I don't know about the legal, maybe @rgunber , who requested this bundle in Orbit knows more. @rgrunber : are those bouncycastle packages allowed to be distributed as part of OSS projects and Red Hat products?

[rgrunber]

The bouncycastle.bcprov has been approved by Eclipse Legal for distribution through Orbit, under the condition that certain classes be excluded.

I can't really answer the legal question but some quick searching shows that it's either approved [1] or not subject to those export controls [2].

@mickaelistria @nickboldt Hey guys - it sounds like this PR is okay with Mickael and suggested by Nick. I need to spin a Luna JBTIS TP (.Final) as well as a Mars JBTIS TP so I can get the IS built for JBDSIS 8.0.4.CR3 and JBDSIS 9.0.0.Beta1. Is a push/Locus build on one of your to-do lists (please)? Thkx! ref: @phantomjinx @blafond

\ Just noticed that Nick's out on PTO this week - @mickaelistria - can you build a new Locus for us?

[mickaelistria]

Merged. Locus snapshot build is in progress. The new build should be available soon. Will you need a release of Locus soon (to consume a stable update-site of Locus) ?

[pleacu]

yes - sorry - was working on a offline zip issue - didn;t see this update. Please let me know when a new Locus release is available

[mickaelistria]

When do you need it?

[pleacu]

as soon as you can - QE is waiting for an updated Luna CR3 release to test and this will be in the TP

[pleacu]

this will work in both Luna and Mars correct?

[mickaelistria]

Yes, it would work for both. The 1.4.0-SNAPSHOT of Locus contain the artifact. Please give it a try to make sure it satisfies your need, and once you have validated it, I'll release a 1.4.0 of Locus that you can use in your releases.

[pleacu]

ok - thkx!!!
