Sorry for the delay. I don't think that this violates vendor neutrality: it's statement that X did something, not that X owns the project. I believe that the playing field is level. Let's leave it for now. I'm meeting with the EF team tomorrow. I've tried to capture the problem here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=485283 Any input that you can provide would be helpful. Wayne On 06/01/16 11:21 AM, Andreas Sewe

Hi Gunnar,- A colleague and I performed some sponsored development for one of Code Recommenders' commercial users. I have indicated this in the review materials. If this is not appropriate, please say so.This requires EMO input. There could be a conflict with some vendor neutrality rules. Once EMO has commented, plus +1 for release.Thanks. A bit more background for you and the EMO. In early November we (Codetrails, where most committers on Code Recommenders work) were approached by a developer from a company (Alte Oldenburger, a German insurance company) asking whether Code Recommenders had plans to make Snipmatch available for languages other than Java. We told him we didn't, as Code Recommenders is primarily focused on Java and achieving the same level of integration we have with JDT at the moment for X other languages would have stretched our resources too much. Said developer convinced us that this level of integration wasn't necessary for Snipmatch to be useful; just the ability to share hundreds of snippets with your colleagues using EGit is a huge win already -- if only Snipmatch's basic functionality (searching and inserting snippets, sharing over Git) would work with arbitrary text editors. He had a look at the code himself, but judged it to be too time-consuming to do on his own. Instead, he convinced his boss to sponsor some development resources at Codetrails. That's how the sponsorship came to be. If mentioning this sponsorship in the release review materials violates some guideline, I will of course change them as necessary, but I couldn't find a clear statement on sponsored development in the project handbook [1].
