[news.eclipse.tools.jdt] Allowed to extract JDT compiler ?

[sboucard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Sébastien Boucard)]

Hi,

I was really impressed by the opportunity to run the batch compiler :
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/jdt-core-home/howto/batch%20compile/batchCompile.html

I am in charge of Mia-Generation (www.mia-software.com), a tool aimed to
build custom code generators. Generation scripts are currently compiled
using Sun's javac (from tools.jar).

I would see many advantages to switch to JDT compiler :
- much much faster !
- better error reporting
- our tool could be used with a JRE, while using javac implies to use a
JDK.

What I would like to do : take only the jdtcore.jar (with no modification)
and redistribute it with our product, with correct licensing resources. I
don't want to tell all my customers to download Eclipse to be able to run
our product, just for compiling purpose.

Now what about legal issues ?

Am I allowed to take only a jar file from Eclipse and redistribute it ?
I looked at the CPL, the legal stuff pages, forums, etc, but still not
sounds perfectly clear to me.

Many thanks,
Sébastien Boucard
