I wanted to add a comment, since I had found an optional way to solve an Eclipse/Ant issue which had NOT yet been reported, but this complete c... says "you must have a reputation of 50 to comment". WHAT THE F... IS THIS? Do I need to make thousands of useful comments before earning a reputation... which I will never reach because I don't have the reputation level to make any comment from the start anyway? Maybe it is some confusing stuff, elsewhere the help states you can always comment whatever, which contradicts this commenting impossibility, complete mess. I have to keep my useful comment for myself, cannot share (issue = A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again in Eclipse x86 Windows 8.1).

    _"Do I need to make thousands of useful comments before earning a reputation"_ - you don't _get_ rep for commenting, and can't comment without it, so... no? The [help](https://stackoverflow.com/help/privileges/comment) states you can always comment **on your own posts**, which is true. – jonrsharpe May 15 '22 at 22:39
  • @StephanBranczyk note if you used the specific close reason for that, instead of a custom one, it would actually get migrated there on closure. – jonrsharpe May 15 '22 at 22:44
  • @jonrsharpe, I looked for that option, but couldn't find it. Anyway, I've retracted my close vote, and now, it won't let me try again, so someone else will have to do it. – Stephan Branczyk May 15 '22 at 22:46
  • @StephanBranczyk "Close" -> "A community-specific reason" -> "This question belongs on another site in the Stack Exchange network" -> "belongs on meta.stackoverflow.com". But yes, once you've retracted one close vote you can't cast another. – jonrsharpe May 15 '22 at 22:48

    @jonrsharpe, I didn't realize that "belongs on meta.stackoverflow.com" was an option. But I see it now. Thank you. – Stephan Branczyk May 15 '22 at 22:51
