The record

Purpose: Eclipse Steady analyzes Java and Python applications for dependencies on open-source components with known vulnerabilities.
Analysis: It combines static and dynamic analysis to collect evidence about whether vulnerable code is reachable or executed in an application context.
Assessment: Its code-centric, usage-based approach is intended to support more accurate detection and assessment than approaches relying on metadata.
Components: The project consists of client-side tools for Java and Python, server-side REST services, and web frontends.
License: The project says it was open-sourced in October 2018 under the Apache License v.2.0.
Java support: The documentation provides Java scanning tutorials for Maven, Gradle, and command-line use.
Python support: The documentation provides a command-line scanning workflow for Python applications.
CI integration: The documentation includes guidance for automating scans with Jenkins and other continuous integration systems.
Deployment: The backend is a Docker Compose application that stores vulnerability information and scan results, and must be running during scans.
Vulnerability data: On initial setup, the backend downloads and processes code-level information for vulnerabilities from the project's open-source knowledge base, with later updates importing daily deltas.
Reports: The Java Maven report goal can write summary reports in HTML, XML, and JSON formats.
Support: The project directs users to tutorials, a user guide, FAQs, and GitHub issues for help and bug reports.
Deployment caveat: The Docker deployment tutorial says its demonstrated setup is not intended for productive scenarios because of security and scalability concerns.
Project status: The maker's site labels Eclipse Steady version 3.2.5 as an Incubator Project.
