Perhaps there should be a Jakarta-IDE project of some description that contains plugins for any number of IDEs (Netbeans, Eclipse, IntelliJ) that relate to Jakarta projects.

This could be a home for:
* Velocity: http://sourceforge.net/projects/veloedit/
* Maven IDE: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mevenide/
* the Struts IDE plugins

And I've seen the cactus on already listed here:
http://eclipse-plugins.2y.net/eclipse/plugins.jsp

My 2c.

Cheers,
Brett

AFAIK, Eclipse website doesn't really host plugin projects. E.g. an
Eclipse plugin for WebObjects, developed inside the ObjectStyle community
( http://objectstyle.org/woproject/ ), is present on Eclipse website at

http://www.eclipse.org/community/plugins.html

But other than that has no affiliation with Eclipse. So pointing to
Eclipse doesn't solve Vincent's problem. Looks like he is really looking
for a place to develop a community around the plugin project. IMO this is
a good standalone project idea. So it is a choice between Apache and
SourceForge I guess.

Hi,

As part of Cactus, we have developed 2 Eclipse plugins. One of

them is a


generic webapp plugin. We would like to extract this from the

Cactus CVS


and let others benefit from it.

However, I'm not sure where we should put this new project.

Obviously one choice is to put it on SourceForge. Before doing

this, I


wanted to let us decide first if we wanted to have a place in

Apache


land where we would put such IDE plugins.

I think more and more the focus in java land is on usability.

Be it


Tomcat, Avalon, Maven, etc, they will all have user-oriented

front ends


to increase user productivity. One obvious place is within

their own


repository. The real question is about shared plugins, like

the webapp


one, which would benefit Tomcat users as well as Cactus ones.

Any idea?

Note: There's no hurry. Just testing the water... :-)

Thank you
-Vincent
