Stuart, I haven't looked at Eclipse for a while (don't tell Dawn I know how to spell cofe :-) Maybe I should revisit to see if there are any nice "things" that we should incorporate into Vis�ge (which is already a cool development environment for U2)
At one stage we had a nice schema generator that plugged into Rose, so maybe we could look at the UML side of things again, but I fear this would be dead R&D, because I don't think too many "pick" shops are likely to get that formal (which of itself is perhaps a shame, but I can understand the economic drivers) Ross Ferris Stamina Software Visage - an Evolution in Software Development >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On >Behalf Of Stuart Boydell >Sent: Friday, 5 March 2004 10:35 AM >To: U2 Users Discussion List >Subject: RE: Eclipse > >> Is your interest more in "Web Services", or "Eclipse/Java" ? > >Hi Ross, >I'm interested in all of the above but in the case of Eclipse, just the >IDE. >It's very cool, have you seen it?
