nothing is stopping anyone from doing such a thing ... i'm not personally interested in developing anything remotely along those lines as i never use eclipse nor do i plan on restricting myself to it some people want point & click & do no work which is what the semiconductor guys are attempting (btw, windriver is a bunch of asshats here) for their customers > Many of the Semiconductor vendors are rushing to build BSP that just > plug into Eclipse.
