The framework is composed of tools that happen to use Eclipse for a runtime, much like Java-based projects use a JVM. As Sam stated, hopefully it's the function that's of interest more than the platform, though I can understand that this is not a typical proposal. The framework is only one component of the project; runtime libraries and other AJAX-based utilities (not tied to Eclipse) can find a home here also. >- why incubate an Ajax library that none of the current ASF projects >uses nor plans to use, unless I missed something? What we hope to achieve is to form a community around AJAX. The tools we put forth, we believe, will be helpful contributions towards that community, but others are welcome. AJAX is likely to indirectly drive Apache-based servers, and direct integration between AJAX and existing Apache projects is certainly possible -- MyFaces is one such example. Already we are building on top of integrated support for Tomcat to support J2EE-based projects, and providing extensible tooling is key to the architecture, so we should look for more integration points. As for Dojo, we're very impressed with the project also. The tooling framework we offer is extensible and even comes with tooling to create the tooling -- something I didn't get into in the proposal, but it's basically a wizard-driven UI to make it easier to get at least basic support for toolkits. Custom features would require real coding. -Adam --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
