All,

with a very small code change and 2 small sources from a eclipse-plugin
the maven-eclipse-plugin will be able to connect projects to the
projects in the workspace instead of the jars for the repository. This
is a very important feature for the maven-eclipse-plugin.

Now to my question:
To do this, i need two small sources from a eclipse-plugin that reads a
special binary file. But a dependency to the eclipse-plugin would
include a deep tree of dependencies, what i would think is way to big
for those two small classes (they are probably not intended to be part
of a public API anyway)....

I see different solutions, but witch one to take ....
- copy the sources and leaf them as untouched as possible (may be even
in a own source folder to separate them and exclude them from code
reformating)
- extract the classes or sources at build time and include them in the
package as classes
- completely rewrite the part i need (to remove the copyright)
- include the dependency anyway
- any other solution?

Specially the legal considerations make it difficult for me to decide
for a solution. The eclipse-plugin has this copyright
http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html and the maven-eclipse-plugin
has this one
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/license.html

Probably i am not the fist one fighting with such considerations, so
what is the "standard" way to go?

thanks for any help,
Ritchie
