Hi,

the Eclipse eTrice project filed a bug [1] against the Text component of the 
Platform.
We would like to use the org.eclipse.jface.text.rules.RuleBasedScanner in a 
headless application. The RuleBasedScanner and related classes aren't depending 
on UI stuff, which is fine. However, the org.eclipse.jface.text bundle is 
depending on SWT. So we asked for a split into UI dependent and UI independent 
parts into separate bundles.

Since [1] didn't receive an answer within 3 month and I also assume that it's 
not likely that this part would be split off and moved to a separate bundle, my 
question is:
Is it allowed that the eTrice project forks the needed classes unchanged into 
its own code base? Of course this would require to place them inside a new 
bundle, e.g. org.eclipse.jface.text.rules, to avoid conflicts.

Thanks,
Henrik
