Ah. That makes things more problematic, especially if they wait for the
pom to be updated and start to fail before they start their update process.

It is going to be a while before we need to update this again. I suspect
there will have to be a little bit of trial and error until we find the

the JDT jar then we could ping them directly (unless they are already
watching the dev list).
