Max, Thank you for your advice. It seems that eclipse RCP is static link, because all related jars (all related libraries) are included in RCPed executable form automatically. According to LGPL says in its section 5 & 6, if I can separate hibernate library from my application, my application can distribute as my own license rather than LGPL. If I remove hibernate from my manifest file and place hibernate libraryon another directory, does eclipse make RCP file without hibernate library? Or if hibernate library includes in my RCPed executable form, it does not need to be LGPL?? hibernate you need to make those changes available to those you have distributed it to. My application only call hibernate library, I don't modify it. -----Original Message----- From: Max Rydahl Andersen [mailto:max.andersen@redhat.com] Sent: Monday, August 17, 2009 11:20 PM To: Keiko Murakami Cc: hibernate-dev(a)lists.jboss.org Subject: Re: [hibernate-dev] Is Eclipse RCPed application including hibernate library covered under LGPL? Your application does not need to be LGPL as long as it follows the rules layed out in LGPL. i.e. as long as user can replace the hibernate jars with their own - and unless you are doing really funky things in your Eclipse RCP app then that is all doable by modifiying the plugin directory or .zip that includes it. And of course if you have done some changes to your distributed version of hibernate you need to make those changes available to those you have distributed it to. But yes, the url Emanuel sends is describing it all in more general terms ;) /max Keiko Murakami wrote:

As you day, I only use standard method. I try to replace the hibernate.jar, I appreciate your advice.

Users can replace the hibernate.jar in your RCP app. Users can rebuild hibernate.jar and just put their own. assuming of course that you are just using normal standard plugin layout. /max
