I may not specifically know its goals, but thinking about it more, I realize I do know some of its constraints. The IDE actually wears two hats. It's a code development tool *and* a solution component. It actually provides some of J's functionality. Specifically wd (including timers), sockets, a COM server, and all that GL stuff I never use. It probably won't be easy to port all that functionality to Eclipse. Particularly if JSoftware is aiming at any reasonable level of backwards compatibility. That said, while it wouldn't be easy, it would be possible, and the benefits may outweigh the costs. But that's not my call to make. -Dan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
