I am always +1 to see SUN OSS something. :) However this just doesn't "feel right".. Forte is going to be OSS under the MPL eventually. Why not just have it public (MPL but a separate DL) until then? I don't see why we should adopt something that is IDE specific. I mean would we host an ant-integration plugin for Symantec Visual Cafe? JBuilder? I don't think so. Also, would ASF people apply patches if 3rd parties find bugs. This would be a drain on resources for something that is vendor specific. My opinion is that it should be open sourced. We should work with you as much as possible but that it doesn't totally fit to put it in the Apache CVS.
