Just my thoughts. Before getting into the large scale IDE I would rethink the initial simplistic view and why wrappers like eclipse fail for this. Basically for an nice GUI IDE you would like to be able to draw from a set of widgets and place them inside another container. The problem with eclipse (and others) are multiple: 1) You need to deploy the application to the laszlo server to compile and return you your widget. This (obviously) takes time. 2) How do you present the widget ? You cannot really provide and drop target on a flash object. A possible solution would be to extract the compiler out of tomcat so the widget can be compiled but then you have to also provide a runtime target that supports the drag & drop. Html may be getting close but it isnt there yet. A different approach is needed...
Might it be possible to build an IDE using laszlo AS the IDE ?
