Hi all,

Thanks Christoph for your answer. I agree with many points. However I'm not
sure those should be reasons for not trying it. Maybe it will work, maybe
not, but I don't think it can hurt (in worst case, we get people not
interested or not able to setup dev environment, but this case is just
exactly what happens every day).
After some discussion with some other interested participants -from Red Hat
I admit- to the @EclipseJavaIDE account, we decided that although it's
likely to be a failure, the cost of this initiative is very small and the
risk of making things worse (ie losing contributors) seems null, and the
chances of success are small but non-null. Overall, the balance of it all
has convinced us it's worth trying.
So I'll soon identify 2 more easy fixes and will tweet about those
opportunities to get started contributing once a week starting from next
week.
We'll then see whether it does bring some value or not ;)

Cheers,
