@jtulach for me NetBinox is unmaintained because: - building it requires to checkout a repository, that only exists for historical reasons - the patch can't be applied to current versions of equinox - the patch for equinox already had to be extended so that it accepts `Import-Package` statements for JDK classes. This allows bouncy castle to load. - the patch for the previous case is not enough as it only works if the imports are declared optional, for the jgit jars this is not the case anymore For the "why this giantic PR": Because this is the usecase that was the final straw. The removal makes only sense when you see the context. The equinox is a mylyn requirement does not hold anymore as mylyn on NetBeans is history. Even if it would be, I'd like to see tests on current OSGI runtimes with up-to-date mylyn dependencies that verify that mylyn is equinox only. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
