RE: Removing a plug-in

Kelly,

Exactly!

The fact that IBM has decided to base WDSC (WSAD, WSSD, and others),
commercial products, on a open source product should not diminish the level
of support of available to its users.

IBM is no longer a hardware or a software company, it's a service company.
Open source is no excuse.

IBM's choice to put WDSCi on top of an open source product introduces the
same question that keep companies from going with other open-source
products: who's going to support it? As long as IBM feels free to not work
on Eclipse problems, and Eclipse has no obligation to WDSCi users, then
there's a crack in the support infrastructure. Uninstalling plug-ins is not
a mission critical issue. I'm just saying it reflects a less than perfect
support situation.
