: ) I'm glad to see you guys so enthusiastic about this--I think there's been a lot of desire to do this, but it just needed some people to force the issue again.
Ryan and Matt both have commit privileges at service-cache, and they have my full support. I'll happily grant admin privs to one or both of them if they like so they can add new developers as well. I'll let you two sort that out between yourselves : ) I also recommend highly that you guys get acquainted with Groovy. It's very cool. -- N. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sonnek, Ryan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 21, 2003 12:29 PM Subject: RE: new console-swing team I've worked with swing quite a bit (and actually like it suprisingly), but I have not worked with SWT. I don't know any possible downfalls EXCEPT that the SWT libraries will need to be distributed with the app. I don't know how big they are, but I'm sure it's not a big deal. Could this new module be worked upon at the sourceforge project (service-cache) alongside the console-web? This would allow non-ASF commiters to progress on it, and submit patches and updates to the geronimo project. Any opinions on applet vs. webstart? I think it'd be great to have the web console "lauch" the webstart client through a link....

Besides, I think that SWT looks better in general - what are the downsides to using SWT as opposed to Swing? -Matt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mariano Kamp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 21, 2003 1:12 PM Subject: Re: new console-swing team > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi, > > what about an eclipse-plugin?
