How are http://code.google.com/p/s2ss/ and http://code.google.com/p/groovyworks/ different? Looking at the code they look very similar. I've been trying to make sure the Plugin Registry is up to date and has all the plugins that are available, so I'm wondering if these are 2 separate entries, or if they are essentially the same thing. Thanks, Tom
