What I mean is if the proposed new IDE has all the features of jaledit and its better than jaledit, at that point the name can be given off. > We should try to get a yes or no answer from Sunish, maybe he will get > on board with you to build a nice IDE.

About the work of jaledit, it started in 2003 when I found Stef's IDE was too bloated. He donated the basic synedit code and it was built on the example given with synedit. Recently I tried the demo of mikropascal and I found great similarity with jaledit. Its 199$ product and I feel that jalv2 compiler,jallib and jaledit offers an excellent alternative already.With chm help and couple more features inclusing stepping through code and plugins it could beat any commercially available PIC compiler/library/IDE.
