Re: [Pluginbuilder-development] Future of Pluginbuilder

I don't think there is much overlapping with Pluginbuilder but I might
have misinterpreted what Buckminster is.

Concerning the PDE, it could be a good idea but it would require to be
able to build on another server than pluginbuilder.org
By the way it would be a good idea to enable private companies to
adopt the Pluginbuilder by letting them deploy build servers.
I think it would boost the Pluginbuilder adoption to open-source the
server as well, let other build server infrastructure and let the
plugin connect to any server. It could even enable business to develop
around this.
At the end may be even the Eclipse Foundation would finally adopt it
for its build infrastructure.
