[jdt-core-dev] Please vote to elect the new JDT/Core lead.

[Srikanth S Adayapalam <srikanth_sankaran@xxxxxxxxxx>]

JDT/Core committers: I forgot to call out
explicitly for you to vote: Please do asap.
Here is an excerpt from  http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/Changing_Leadership:

"The vote should run for a minimum
of five generally-accepted business days, or until all 
committers have voted. A vote that results
in a minimum of three +1s, and no unresolved -1s 
is considered successful"

Thanks!
Srikanth
