Please add jgoodies-common and jgoodies-forms

[ptziegler]

For the WindowBuilder project, I'd like to get rid of org.eclipse.wb.swing.FormLayout.lib, which contains both jgoodies-common and jgoodies-forms as embedded jars.

Newer versions have become proprietary, so it's unlikely that any fix can be added to the upstream project. Ideally, I'd like to use the latest release, before the project became closed source:

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.jgoodies/jgoodies-common/1.8.1
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.jgoodies/jgoodies-forms/1.9.0

I was already having a look. Even these are from 2015 if I recall correctly. I assume you are asking because a BND recipe is needed, right?

That's exactly it. They don't have a manifest, so I can't consume them directly from Maven Central. And I tried to understand the way this is done here, but was quickly overwhelmed with the reports and everything else that comes with "just" adding two jars.. 😦

Sadly, yes. Looking at their website, the project is still actively developed. But as long as it's a commercial product, there is no way to use anything newer than those versions.

These are now available here:

Please verify that they are functional as soon as possible.

Note that these two issue were quickly reviewed and approved:

• https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/emo-team/iplab/-/issues/14176
• https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/emo-team/iplab/-/issues/14175

But these two "duplicates" are open:

• https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/emo-team/iplab/-/issues/14174
• https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/emo-team/iplab/-/issues/14173

I tried both out and the test results are very promising. Thanks a lot! 😄
