@cnfree Would you be so kind to comment here, if you are willing to accept this pull request?
If you don't want to remove those code fragments, we'll have to ban the plugin from our Eclipse installations. In any case, please let us know. Thanks.

@hbrands This comment and this comment seem relevant. My guess is that this pull request ultimately won't be accepted.

Maintaining a fork with the goal of submitting it to the Eclipse Marketplace might be worthwhile.

@xnrand I had this idea, too, since I really like the plugin - at least its main functionality.

Anyone with experience in developing/publishing Eclipse plugins interested? I would be happy to support.

@cnfree: Is the revenue generated from your hidden ad features that big that you can't resign from it?

An alternative route would be to provide a donation option - with 400.000+ subscribers, that should work to - kind of more honest than the current, hidden approach. This pull request is meant to support you, not upset you.

@pbi-qfs I'd be willing to assist with a fork, I do have experience with developing Eclipse plugins. You can contact me any time and we can work out the details.
