What exactly is this „central interop testing facility“?
In the distant past there were conversations about whether there should
be a certification program for Eclipse plug-ins. After much discussion
it was decided that we should not, and that we would rely upon the
ecosystem to sort out which plug-ins were high-quality and which were not.
The downside to that decision is, of course, that our users cannot
differentiate between bugs caused by Eclipse and bugs caused by poor
plug-ins. Or even if they can tell, they do not care. As a result, any
popular but buggy plug-in can damage the quality reputation of Eclipse
itself.
There is no simple solution to the problem.
