I currently work on Hudson (for Sonatype) and part of that work involves designing a new (OSGi based) plugin manager, so in that sense there is a connection to Eclipse - since it's possible that Hudson could end up running on the same core runtime as Eclipse (ie. Equinox). There's also a Hudson/Jenkins connector already in Eclipse (part of Mylyn). > The only thing I can come up with is that they are hoping to piggyback on the > success of the Eclipse IDE. It all seems like a reaction to Jenkins. I think moving to Eclipse was always a possibility, but sometimes these ideas take a while to grow and mature - if you look back at the dev list archives in January it is mentioned in passing. Looking forward, I personally think it's a good step - and now's the time to get involved if people want to help shape the proposal. -- Cheers, Stuart > Regards, > Kirk > > On May 5, 2011, at 2:39 PM, Phil wrote: > >> I caught this earlier today.
