Contribution Questionnaire, or CQ, is a record that tracks inclusion of intellectual property into a Project in Eclipse Foundation.
- Whenever any non-eclipse code, library, the jar is to be used by Jersey, a new CQ needs to be filed.
- Whenever a newer version of existing non-eclipse code, library, the jar is to be used by Jersey, a new CQ needs to be filed.
- Only a committer to Eclipse Jersey project has the rights to file a CQ.
- A pull request (PR) with a new version of a jar can be marked with CQ Required label. Whenever CQ Required label appears at the commit, a committer needs to file/piggyback the CQ at the Eclipse Foundation. Then, until the CQ is not filed and approved, the PR must not be merged to the Jersey repository.
When a CQ needs to be filed:
- Search for a list of existing CQs. If CQ is found, a new piggyback of the CQ needs to be filed for Jersey. If not found, the source code of the library needs to be attached to the CQ.
- Recently, the Eclipse Foundation does not require to file a CQ if there exists an approved CQ for the product of the same version, and the same CQ requirements (source/binary, modified/unmodified).
- List of CQs for Jersey is maintained.
- IPLog - List of CQs
