I'm posting this to cross-projects because we are considering a change that requires a significant dependency (jGit).
A new contribution to JSDT revolves around support for Bower _javascript_ package manager runtime, and this has a jGit dependency.
Our biggest issue from a build standpoint is we (WTP) have a +2 offset, while jGit is +3.  I'm actually surprised this has remained at +3.

I'm looking for advise how to proceed, what options do we have to consider this change?  Ask for jGit to move to +2?  Change the packaging
of the JSDT bower support to be optional?  What have other projects done in this case? 

JGit has no dependencies to other release train projects. EGit depends on platform (+0) and Mylyn (+3)

but I don't expect any problems with Mylyn.

So I think we can move JGit and EGit to offset +1.
