If one wants to use Eclipse SWT + dependency with pure Maven, here is a demo https://t.co/Cbn5EsBnYu

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.

WebKitGTK will be switching to #Skia for 2D graphics rendering! Read more about it here: https://t.co/7G3qzsyptn

[VSCode Java @VSCodeJava]

@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

[Александър Куртаков @akurtakov]

@tsmaeder Lucky you! It's 33C here and will probably make it to 36C today for like 60 days in raw.

[Александър Куртаков @akurtakov]

Tomcat 11 to require Java 21! Finally we see projects catch up! https://t.co/4aH7ZAplEe

“The Java release cadence has changed, and it did not change yesterday, but a long time ago, so users should live with it.”

@mickaelistria @dr_pompeii @EclipseJavaIDE Ah, it is not in the thread here and I missed that.

[Александър Куртаков @akurtakov]

@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

[Александър Куртаков @akurtakov]

@mickaelistria That's because swearing always come from the heart !

[Александър Куртаков @akurtakov]

@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.

[Александър Куртаков @akurtakov]

@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.

[Александър Куртаков @akurtakov]

@mmilinkov @mickaelistria I'll even bring here https://t.co/TIqL8cToy6

[Александър Куртаков @akurtakov]

@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.

[Александър Куртаков @akurtakov]

@mmilinkov Where have I said that? Or do you imply that https://t.co/gYlRAw2jH2 has zero users as the project is not providing binaries?

[Александър Куртаков @akurtakov]

@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.

[Александър Куртаков @akurtakov]

@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?

[Александър Куртаков @akurtakov]

@mmilinkov "Payment on this proforma invoice is needed in order to establish vendor-customer relationship and thus this request being eligible for reply."

[Александър Куртаков @akurtakov]

@mmilinkov First send them the invoice for a reply and after payment the reply it's not what FOSS is for :) . Use the money to fund development.

[Александър Куртаков @akurtakov]

@mmilinkov I totally believe that would be positive change for heavily understaffed FOSS projects.
