Thanks for the quick answers. I'll try to re-phrase questions 2 and 3.
The IP Question was just put out because I have not read the Eclipse license in depth ... and was hoping someone else had, and would share a brief comparison (are we compatible?).
The dependency issue was more at a higher level. Should we be adding eclipse jars to as dependencies in the Geotools maven build? The consequences may include being tied to eclipse releases, or being forced to upgrade a large portion of the code to fix a relatively minor bug ... and the other set of issues when you depend heavily on an external, non-standardized library. I was trying to contrast this the our previous decision: to use the standard SAX api, but not the internal Xerces API ...
Synchronization: Perfect, thanks.

It really just boils down to a synchronized buffer with multiple
consumers. With any synchronization you take a hit but in this case it is
pretty minimal. That being said I cant really say until I run it through a
profiler.
