Sam, This is absolutely incorrect. If you were surprised, you were misinformed. (I appreciate that you were not directly engaged with Eclipse prior to this proposal being made public.) But we categorically deny the assertion that discussions were settled or that this proposal was anything other than a complete and unpleasant surprise to Eclipse. The last talk we had with IBM concerning this project was on October 20th and was to the affect that the runtime components would go to Apache and the tools components would go to Eclipse. Runtime at Apache, tools at Eclipse. A pattern we have all seen executed succesfully before. An email from me to IBM regarding the status of this proposal dated Dec. 15th went unanswered until 6:15 ET this evening, after this proposal was launched at Apache, and this conversation on the mailing list ensued. What or who made you think discussions were "settled"?
