[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-26673?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-26673: ------------------------------------ I'm baffled. RSE is a "dead" project (insofar as there's one active committer, just keeping the builds going -- me! -- with infrequent contributions from Jeff) but instead of IBM *contributing* to it they've *_forked it internally and updated it to 4.6_*? How is that commitment to open source? * https://www.itprotoday.com/linux/ibm-open-source-success-requires-give-an... * https://www.crn.com/slide-shows/cloud/ibm-ceo-ginni-rometty-s-5-biggest-s... Please ask your colleagues at IBM to contribute to the RSE project at Eclipse, instead of internal forking. The rising tide won't lift all our boats if you're in your super secret submarine. :( As an aside, if you look at the history of the project from the late 3.x to the current 4.x, you'll see that most of the recent changes are just upversions and tweaks to keep it compiling against the latest Eclipse. There have been no API breaks in moving from 3.x to 4.x, just version number alignment between TM and RSE projects after they were merged into one to break cyclic dependencies and make maintenance easier.
