Hi,

We have a patch contributed some time ago in SLING-3100 [1] which adds
a m2e configurator for the content-package packaging type.

What this means is that when a Maven project which is of type 'content-
package' is imported into Eclipse it's automatically configured as a
Sling content project, which removes a lot of frustration when users
import a project and it simply does not work :-)

My first reaction at that time was to put the patch on hold, since the
content-package packaging type is contributed by the
com.day.jcr.vault:content-package-maven-plugin, which is not open
source.

Thinking about this two years later, I am not sure whether that was
justified, since (1) the patch does not link to any kind of code which
is not Apache-2.0 friendly, but just makes a metadata entry related to
that plugin.

Also, (2) this would help a lot users that use the IDE tooling together
with the content-package-maven-plugin.

Keeping (1) in mind, is it acceptable from a legal POV to include this
patch?

Thanks,

Robert
