This is a valid view, of course. If you look at it from the other side, which is our users and your customers, you mandate a specific environment because you don't implement everything yourself. Both views have advantages and drawbacks for each party. I'd personally have the GUI mapping features first, and the integration with source files and IDE second, because of that comparison. Roundtrip and integrated development is, in my experience, the last thing you need, not the first. I agree that synchronization in an IDE would be nice, but is it really more important than the primary objective, a GUI mapping tool? I also think you will double the audience for that tool if you provide it either standalone or also as an IntelliJ plugin. Shouldn't be a big deal if you kept the UI/plugin interfaces separate. Anyway, I'll check it out if I ever try Eclipse again, and it will certainly help some of our Eclipse users. -- Christian Bauer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.hibernate.org/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
