No one doubts your commitment to JDT. You've been great helping them out. And we all appreciate that.
I guess the real question, is that if someone ends up with the OTDT version of the JDT, do bad things happen? I agree you followed all that was asked of you, but I think we assumed and I do hope you've accomplished what's best for the community at large. What were the plans to mitigate these issues?

Here are the main references for your convenience: The general case was discussed in this bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/330312 Conclusion: no new rules needed for such a rare situation. The special case should be handled via a request for exception. Request for exception was raised via tools PMC: http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/tools-pmc/msg01491.html The result was to make the decision depend on an agreement between JDT and Object Teams. This reflects the discussion in both tools PMC and Planning Council. This agreement has been achieved in a phone call between Dani and myself. After that call, I brought the request to the eclipse PMC: http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/eclipse-pmc/msg01338.html In that thread you find Dani's confirmation, four +1 votes, and no 0 or -1 votes. Aside from formal process, need I assure anybody on this list, how much I care about the quality and reputation of JDT? best, Stephan _______________________________________________ cross-project-issues-dev mailing list cross-project-issues-dev@eclipse.org https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-project-issues-dev _______________________________________________ cross-project-issues-dev mailing list cross-project-issues-dev@eclipse.org https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-project-issues-dev
