[e4-dev] Contributing to JDT on e4

Hi all,

I know there is an effort starting around what we can do with JDT in
e4.  I'd like to be involved.  My name is Andy Clement and I currently
lead the AspectJ project at eclipse.org and look after the
groovy-eclipse compiler integration (groovy-eclipse is at codehaus).
AspectJ is a fork of jdt.core modified to allow the use of Aspect
Oriented Programming constructs.  For the groovy-eclipse integration I
currently look after a jdt.core patch that opens up JDT enabling
another compiler (in this case groovyc) to 'plug-in' and work with JDT
to build mixed groovy/java codebases (full write up of this is here:
http://blog.springsource.com/2009/07/30/a-groovier-eclipse-experience/
).  I'd like to reduce the amount of change required in my forking and
patching by contributing suitable changes back into the base.  Ideally
I'd like to run with jdt.core unpatched but whether all changes I'm
making are suitable for inclusion will be an interesting discussion -
the e4 JDT codebase is where we can have that discussion I think.

thanks
Andy
