If you think the ideal solution for developing cloud based web apps is to use a cloud based development environment, you may be interested in something that we're working on in the Eclipse Foundation ...
... Eclipse Orion's objective is to create a browser-based open tool integration platform which is entirely focused on developing for the web, in the web. We're still working on our first release, and have just completed our 0.4 milestone. It offers a solid JavaScript editor that runs entirely in the web page. It allows plugins to extend from the editor, other editors etc, it has git integration and more. We're still improving, polishing and evolving. I joined the team just a couple of months ago. We build Orion using Orion, and it only took a couple of days for me to forget that I was coding in a browser. There is a lot of power in the concept of web based development - for accessing and sharing your code, and with the liberating convenience of not having to install an IDE. As a fan of App Engine, I've been playing with Orion and App Engine and wrote a blog post to show how it worked for me. It is a bit of a crude integration with my experiment - there is a tonne of scope for bundling this whole integration neatly in a cloud somewhere - but I have enough of it working for me to use it as my main way of developing App Engine apps now. Posting here, in case others might be interested. http://www.hickory.ca/2012/03/02/orion-and-google-app-engine/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
