You have to sign up for an Eclipse.org account if you want to read the

It's not clear which way they want to go, but I imagine they would
follow the SWT's lead and provide ECJ separately *and* include it with
the Eclipse SDK. The post is asking about ahead of time compilation of
ECJ and wondering how it is done. Nobody has responded yet so perhaps
you should post your thoughts.
