I have updated the Wiki for the plans for the rife-ide and rife-jumpstart plugins. Here is the url:
http://rifers.org/wiki/display/RIFE/Eclipse
In doing so, I realized that I do not think there is any benefit to a rife-jumpstart plugin as it would not really be used by itself. I am trying to think of all use cases but I have not come up with one where this plugin would actually be useful by itself. That being said, I would like to remove it and just have the rife-ide instead unless anyone objects. Here are my thoughts backing this decision:
The RIFE Jumpstart, as it is now, is a way for you to experiment with RIFE in a controlled environment. To actually experiment, you add sources and content to the Jumpstart directory structure and view. I do not think that this is a usable scenario for doing this in Eclipse. Since, in the end, we want to have the concept of a RIFE project and RIFE launch types, why not just do this in the rife-ide plugin since you will never use these features standalone?
That being said, I await your response. I will then update the Wiki and begin working accordingly. Sorry for the delay but as most open source developers know, the work that pays your job has to come first sometimes. ;)
Take care,
Jeremy
