RE: more eclipse plugin challenges

[Vincent Massol <vm...@pivolis.com>]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your feedback. This Eclipse plugin is still very yound and
its main developer is no longer active and there's little chance he'll
participate again (or he would already have). So we have to make the
eclipse plugin our own. I've started reading the code and locally
improving it. Still it'll take some time before we have something rock
solid. I guess that starting from October I'll have more free time and
I'll be able to tackle the eclipse plugin which is something I really
want to do.

Feel free to send patches if you want.

Thanks a lot.
-Vincent
