Re: [ide-dev] The LangEclipseIDE project
Doug,

Yes, sometimes a guy just has to take responsibility himself.  I spent several days tracking down a nasty JDT bug that was causing a problem, oddly enough, when working on a Oomph setup to provision JDT itself.

  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=396854

The fix turned out to be trivial; often simpler the fix, the harder it is to track down.  I took pride in having my Gerrit contribution committed to the code base and I definitely appreciate the JDT team spending time to review the problem when they have so many other pressing issues using up their precious time.

Cheers,
Ed

I'm not directly involved in JDT but I closely monitor it for a number of reasons.
I can ensure you that your perception is not correct - it's not like JDT developers ignore such bugs as non interesting. My observation is that the current developers have their hands full with only supporting new Java language and JVM changes and this is an area which is with critical priority.


That doesn't contradict my perception. I wasn't commenting on what issues the JDT team found "interesting" or not. I was commenting on what issues there is a realistic chance the JDT team will work on. What you said actually supports my perception: if JDT team resources are tight, they are only going to work on issues that are deemed of significant importance for JDT and JDT users, not other stuff.
