Congratulations to Marcel and his family!

You can just push the patch to Gerrit for C/C++, PHP and other non-Java packages (Parallel, Testers?) and then let Markus decide if he will merge it and do the re-spin.

It's really not nice to see this error on every startup, but I would not say this is a blocker for a Milestone release. However, if we can have a quick re-spin then let's do it.

I was not suggestion that the burden of deciding whether to include
org.eclipse.jdt.annotation should be placed on the package maintainers.
If org.eclipse.epp.logging.aeri.ui requires org.eclipse.jdt.annotation
to *run* (not just compile), it should be a non-optional dependency.
This would certainly be the workaround for now.

That being said, it would be even better if ECore could be made to not
introduce an unnecessary runtime dependency; a compile-time dependency
to @Nullable should be sufficient. But my ECore knowledge is rather
limited, so I have no idea how to achieve that.

Anyway, the question is how to proceed for M4:

- Marcel, the core committer of AERI, is on parental leave; his twins(!)
are just a few days old, so I imagine he is rather busy right now.

- I could implement the above workaround (non-optional dependency) but
am not even a committer on ARI; hence, I would need an EPP committer to
submit the change in Gerrit and promote a new milestone, which would
then need to be integrated.

Do you consider this a blocker for the PHP package?
