So far we only have a small integration based on the jmDNS provider (I believe). Removing the dependency and corresponding functionality would be a limited one time effort. Not something I would want to do but in my experience less effort than maintaining additional repositories in build and development targets on an ongoing basis and dealing with support issues due to failed installs.

Hi Steffen,
is rewriting Mylyn actually less time consuming than using another repo?
Btw. what parts of ECF does Mylyn depend on anyway?
