This is not so clear of a choice for me. Xindice *clearly* needs an
administration console to be useful in the widespread community. What
alternatives are there? If there are no alternatives, then I think we
should attempt to find ways to bolster more support this, or another
application. Reviving other web based consoles might fit Xindice's
deployment model better than the eclipse admin ui.
I have nothing against eclipse plugin, but problem is that nobody supports it (and I don't have time / motivation to support it also).
I, personally, will work towards stabilizing and integrating webadmin to the main branch to replace ugly browser (see http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/xml-xindice/java/scratchpad/webadmin/), it has admin features (see http://metzner.org/projects/webadmin/), and can be extended to add missing freatures, if any.
If you want to step up and support eclipse plugin, then that would be great, and we would have *three* admin interfaces alltogether:
(1) Command Line
(2) Eclipse UI
(3) Web / WebDAV
