We've been working with the Eclipse team on defects and enhancements to find the right APIs not just for our needs, but hopefully generic APIs for others to build extensions as well. Once these APIs and extension points are finalized, hopefully Eclipse will be a stronger platform as a result, and we will be freer to focus on the functionality of AJAX runtimes, integration with middleware, etc. So, while tools are an enabler and Eclipse is the platform for the tools subproject, I think the overall mission is building a coherent set of AJAX code that fits in with existing middleware and standards, and a community to steer it. For that, we think Apache is the right home. -Adam --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscribe@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-help@incubator.apache.org
