Geert,
That is exactly what I was thinking. The plugin would be a lot like Jumpstart in it's packaging and stuff and would allow for download and learn/develop capabilities. We could then either build upon this plugin to create our Rife "IDE" or we could have multiple plugins for different things but package them together as one feature (To make it where you can download/install one thing instead of many) and make sure they all work together.
Eddy,
Eclipse provides that as well. What I mean by templates is to be able to go to File > New and see Rife stuff there that would create template Rife applications ready for hacking for their business need. We then would integrate into the content assist to allow for Java/XML assistance for the Rife sources. Did I get your message wrong or are we talking about the same things?
Take care,
Jeremy

The more I read about your vision of the plugin, the more I find that
NetBeans already provides facilities to do that.
If you look at the attached screenshot (sorry for posting screenshots,
but I find it hard to illustrate for non-NetBeans users), you will see that:
1. the web site structure is obvious from the tree structure in the
project window
2. there is syntax highlighting and auto-completion for RIFE XML files
3. XML configuration files and Element subclasses are readily acccessible
The only feature that you requested but I cannot do yet is the ability
to click/right-click on a class definition to open the corresponding
declaration in the correct XML file.
Maybe for NetBeans all that is required is not a plugin, but a project
template in a similar way to RIFE/Jumpstart. I will see if this feasible.
Eddy
