sorry, this is not an advice but a request. I had to spend some time this
weekend to undo this upload, which I don't want to see repeated.
ecj is part of the java toolchain on some architectures, and from my point of
view it is more important to keep these working instead of updating to a new ecj
version.
I did point out a way forward to use a new org.eclipse.jdt.core by updating
eclipse. If you don't have the time to do this, fine, but please don't mess
around with *my* time.
