It's important to understand that we build open source for us. If you want it to be built for you, then you can join us to help build it and then it will be built for you too. That's how it works.
@VSCodeJava 1.28.1 has been released! We have Unnamed classes & instance main methods (Java 21) preview support, keyboard shortcut activation of cleanup actions, and a fix for a startup issue on older versions of macOS. See https://t.co/tIiyPbuxQM
@mickaelistria@dr_pompeii@EclipseJavaIDE This reply is not entirely correct. It depends on multiple things:
* authors of the plugin and their will to support it as part of new project
* general usabiliity of the plugin aka to serve broad enough group
e.g. https://t.co/gwauYRORBp was contributed as core part lately
@dougschaefer@mmilinkov@mickaelistria That would never change as long as you're not only doing the coding but even preparing deliverables for your competitors that work only their "commercial" offering.
@mmilinkov@mickaelistria Even if unsure smth is solution or not it's better to try it out if there are no other ideas given and the status quo is known for sure to not be a solution.
@mmilinkov@mickaelistria Can't say for others but for Eclipse IDE lack of ways to monetize work on core parts are discouraging for many to stay involved.
@mmilinkov Isn't this a perfect opportunity for win-win situation - companies get their vendor and people/companies working on a project have a way to monetize ? Right now freely available binaries make the second option non-viable.
@mmilinkov As someone who cares about the "freedom" part first, why care about these requests and requesters? Let me rephrase - how do these have positive effect on a project?
@mmilinkov "Payment on this proforma invoice is needed in order to establish vendor-customer relationship and thus this request being eligible for reply."
