It would seem to me that IDE plugins should be at sourceforge.net or java.net or the like instead of at Jakarta. Certainly Velocity, Maven, Struts, etc. should point people to them, but they just don't seem like the kind of thing that the Jakarta community should be focusing on as "Jakarta" projects. (Of course it does make perfect sense for Jakarta people to be involved on those projects, though.)

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.
