[Webwork-devel] management console/eclipse plugin

[Matt B. <ma...@sm...>]

I was investigating Eclipse and reading about its plugin architecture and
wanted to toss up an idea. But first a little background. Eclipse is IBM's
$40M donation to the Open Source community. It is designed "for building
integrated development environments (IDEs) that can be used to create
applications as diverse as web sites, embedded Java TM programs, C++
programs, and Enterprise JavaBeans TM.".  Its principal role is to provide a
seamless integration platform for tools. It achieves this in part from its
ability to support plugins.

I propose that we develop a WW management console plugin for Eclipse
platform. This will fulfill a few requests on the TODO list - management
console, better client action documentation, and more swing/client examples.
Plus, the fact that Eclipse is gaining popularity fast does not hurt either.

Thoughts?
