I wouldn't say you were reinventing a wheel. I don't think it's been
invented as far as UltraDev and Spectra integration are concerned. I think
it's a natural extension to both platforms to integrate them. In fact, it's
something I've been assuming would happen. So, more power to you. I hope
you'll consider providing your exensions as open source.
