Errr...no, it was a great IBM effort to start with. Anyway, Eclipse is mostly a consortium anyway.

Eclipse does suffer from the fact that they promise to keep the API stable. Anything that was API once will remain so. Anyway, publish your code so I can mock it. What part of Eclipse are you talking about? The SVN plugin?

That statement is just bullshit. Plugins will continue to work unless you use non-API. The documentation of the base platform is very good.

Sadly, IBM seems to have pulled many of the original core developers off to build Jazz.

Too bloody expensive!

I'd buy HD-discs in a second, but not at twice the price of a DVD. Idiots!
