Thanks for all your contributions to Eclipse,
Srikanth! I don't think we could have had a successful Java 8 release without
your tireless efforts on specs and compiler implementation. I wish you
all the best in your next endeavors.

After hesitating a good bit about sending
this blastogram, I decided to - since there 
are simply too many people to thank and bid good bye to.

Tomorrow Nov 30th will be my last day as committer in JDT/Core & JDT/APT.

It has been my pleasure and privilege to have had the opportunity to work
on this project 
co-leading the Java 7 implementation efforts and leading Java 8 implementation.

I vividly recall the tough times 3 years ago when the team had nearly gotten
decimated and 
we had just ~1.5 engineers left which was barely enough to maintain Juno
and work on 
Kepler let alone get started on Java 8. From there to a successful release
of Java 8 
was made possible by contributions and tremendous initiative from the community
making it a truly global and truly open source story.

Many thanks and good bye. 

I'll be watching and cheering the Eclipse project team from the sidelines.

Regards,
