Some J development requires J be shut down and restarted (so you know that you are not relying on definitions which are no longer contained in your scripts). If this will be the case for J7, then I think that there should be a fast way of starting J on a project (with a minimum of steps to get back into a project and to get into any of its files.) I did not notice treatment of this kind of issue in the proposal, but I have not fully digested your proposal yet. Also, in the general case, I can imagine needing a lot of test scripts and test data. Presumably this will be trivial to manage (just include references from the test script to files which are not a part of the project?)? Finally, I am wondering about documentation or other non-J artifacts, and how they will be treated, and I am wondering about the different kinds of "targets" -- a project designed for deployment through the project manager would be different from a project designed to be deployed standalone and "turnkey". But maybe this kind of thing is outside the scope of the project manager?
