A package was submitted to savannah.nongnu.org
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden


Andrew John Hughes <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: CASHeW-s
System name: cashew-s
Type: non-GNU

Description:
The purpose of this project is to facilitate the composition of semantic web 
services.  It consists of two parts:

* a process editor, which allows the individual services to be visually 
composed.  The primary output target will be OWL-s, with possible extensions in 
the form of high-level functions. as seen in functional languages.

* a workflow engine, that will convert its input (primarily OWL-s) into a 
process algebraic form, and then execute it.  The individual service calls are 
bound to the actions in the algebra.

The former will be implemented as a plug-in for the Eclipse development 
environment using Java.  The latter will be written in the functional langauge, 
Haskell.

At present, no source code is available, as the development of the languages 
used is still in progress.

A further synopsis of the project is at:

Other Software Required:
For the Haskell side:
   -- The Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC) with generics extensions (currently 
only in CVS)
   -- Other supporting Haskell libraries such as HaXML and Haifa 
(https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/haifa/)

For the Java side:
    -- The Eclipse development environment.  This has been successfully 
compiled natively using gcj, part of the GCC, and uses SWT (a native toolkit) 
as opposed to Swing.


Other Comments:
Is there any advice the Savannah team can give as to the legal aspects of 
licensing an Eclipse plug-in under the GPL?  Eclipse itself is under the 
Eclipse Public License, IIRC.
