This serves a number of purposes for me though:
* A big regression test suite for MCS.
* A big regression test suite for Mono.
* A chance to fine tune mono to run it at a decent speed.
* The change to run Eclipse on a full open source platform
Finally:
* Provide feedback to Microsoft about their JUMP product.
* Convince Microsoft to open source JUMP ;-)
Since Eclipse has its own toolkit, doing this is a lot easier than doing
a Swing based application.
There are a number of unknowns as you well point out, but the work seems
pretty interesting. And again, the resulting C# code is pretty damn
good and nice.
Miguel.
