[jdt-ui-dev] New contribution: couple of questions

[Eric Rizzo <eclipse-mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've created https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=496003 and am 
preparing a pull request to implement it. I'm going through the 
contribution information on the wiki, but I have a couple of questions:

1) I realize the Neon release is right around the corner and my work, if 
accepted, won't be in it. However, is it reasonable to expect it to be 
eligible for Neon SR1? It's all new functionality but not API, so I'm 
unsure. Obviously I'd like to see it included in SR1 if possible, but I 
just don't know the policy or requirements.

2) Which branch should I be basing my work on? I've done it so far based 
on master, but if the answer to #1 above is "yes" I assume I should be 
based on another, as it appears master is for Oxygen release.

3) My work involves both sounds and icons:
    a) For icons, is there someone who typically does icon work for JDT 
(or Platform)? I'm no good at design or pixel-pushing, so for the time 
being I've grabbed some icons from a free (Creative Commons Attribution 
licensed) set, but I don't know if that's allowable or who I can turn to 
for help if its not.
   b) For sounds, again I've included some CC licensed sounds for now, 
but don't know if there is any precedent for sound files anywhere in 
Platform or other Eclipse "core" projects.

That's it for now; I appreciate any guidance while I get up to speed on 
JDT contributions.
