Re: [tools-pmc] Requesting exception for patch feature shipped by Object

[Doug Schaefer <cdtdoug@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have to agree with Gunnar and Dani Megert. You can't patch another
project on the train without their approval. You are essentially
forking the JDT, which is fine on it's own, but the JDT team owns the
JDT that's on the train and need to own the patch. And at the end of
the day you need to work with the JDT team to provide a mechanism so
that there isn't a patch/fork, or at least a patch that the JDT team
is happy with. Or find another way to release Object Teams that
doesn't involve the train.
