yeah, that's what I meant - without having been too clear - with  
fork-the-fork :) What I had hoped for was some hidden eclipse magic to  
directly access a PR as branch (from jfx) - something like the Pull  
requests tab in GitHub Desktop. Which under the hood adds a new remote  
to the fork that created the pr. And that's what I ended up with: add  
that remote manually and checkout the branch.

Thanks for your input!
