We can but a user of the distribution can't. I guess this comes down to what we want to put on the TODO list for eclipse for 2.0. If we agree to put the eclipse plugin on the list (or help the STP project to get some support for 2.0 in the right kind of timeframe) then I agree that's the right long term approach. If we can't do that then I think we need to help the user out. I'd be happy to include either of those tasks. Ease of use should be one of our objectives. As an aside, if we decide to go down the plugin route in the first instance I think we can make it slicker now that we have the registry in the runtime. Simon
