Borland opensourcing parts of jbuilder?

[Lori M Olson [TeamB]]

I realize this may not be the most appropriate place to post this, but I wasn't sure where else to ask the questions.
On the register.co.uk is an article talking about Borland to opensource parts of jbuilder to eclipse.

That's as much as anyone knows. Appropriate group is "non-technical".

My question is has anyone seen a source for this other than register? I
mean I put about as much stock in their stories as I do in Mac Rumor
site. It is fun read, but really...

The source is some comments Dale made during the quarterly earnings
conference call. I didn't note the exact time that it comes up, but I
think it's probably before 20 minutes into it and it's definitely
sometime after the Q/A begins.

I would argue that the Register is doing a little interpretation of his
meaning but that they aren't totally off the mark.

AFAIK, this is the official answer to this article:

It is more complex than that. During last interview Dale Fuller told
that Borland will enhance Eclipse with missing functionality. I think it
means that some parts will be open source.

Why? Plugins need not to be Open Source.
