I think the intent has already been expressed well but it sounds (1) (2) like ecj provides the same basic functionality as nb-javac does which has basically become less of a concern for recent NB versions. So is there any more value of an alternative here? If they want ecj shouldn't they just stick with Eclipse if they prefer it?
