Yeah, I would have jump on that too, except they didn't have any way to
interact with my source code management system, and I couldn't checkout 400+
files every time I wanted to work on the project... And the most ugly thing
was that the source files were not stored as text, you had to export them in
order to get a java file to look at.
I have't looked at it in ages though, and I understand that they did address
several of these issues. I did use it to build example applications that I
linked together with the GUI. It was a bit slow on my machine at that time
(300mhz P-II)...
I should try their new demo to see what they've changed...
