License Question

[b0c1]

Hi!

Thanks but. If I write an eclipse plugin which using mercurial with 
jython (this plugin license is GPLv2) and another plugin (license is 
EPL) call the "wrapper" plugin it's ok or not?
(wrapper plugin not needed it's an optional plugin)

way1: main plugin call the wrapper plugin internal method which call the 
jython and it's call the mercurial

way2: main plugin call the wrapper plugin like a command line 
application: jython hg command..

Which method allowed by license?
