Hi Guys,

  Thus what can I do ?
  Richard proposed a patch (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-344)
which is very useful for our eclipse plugin, but it bundles 2 java classes
coming from eclipse (IBM - EPL 1.0). Those sources are in src/main/eclipse
with the license file.

  Can I add them, or is it prohibited ?
