I a have bit of problem here with this Converting a Java Project to a Dynamic Web Project in Eclipse article at EclipseZone at Dzone.com. As you can see it was 'composed' from an original article by GreatWebbGuy.

In publishing it is a common practice to give the title co-author to the original article author if content is 50% copied from the original article. This article certainly qualifies. Some background, all Dzone.com articles go through some review process an first post articles by any Dzone contributor get the most examination.

Are you to disturbed by this? Ma I imaging things? How does this bode positively on the Eclipse community? Okay, lets give a reasonable bow to doubt. What if the system Dzone uses does not allow to do such things? All the more reason to put an introductory sentence at the beginning stating who the co-author is nd their link to the original article.

I can state that the Eclipse Foundation does read my Eclipse posts, so if you feel strongly about this I would urge you put your comments in the comment box below.
