Re: [eclipse-dev] Adding object contributions

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Technical questions and discussions
about using eclipse and eclipse-based tools, and developing plug-in tools
should be posted to the newsgroups.
Mailing lists at eclipse.org are intended for use by developers actually
working on or otherwise contributing to day-to-day development. The
development mailing lists are the way design and implementation issues
are discussed and decisions voted on by the committers.
