Thanks for the update. So that is TWO people who have independently verified that WDSc will be based on Eclipse 3.2. I talked to the WDSc folks at Spring and Fall common and got the same information. That means I can use MyEclipse as well on the same Eclipse platform. Finally, "One platform to rule them all, one platform to find them, one platform to bring them all and in the darkness"...hey wait a minute, maybe this isn't such a good idea....

Is there a proposed date for this release?

As it so happens, I was in a session at the WebSphere Tech Exchange this 
morning that covered some of the enhancements to the Rational tooling.
Some of the interesting points (working from memory so take this with a grain of salt): - Installation is becoming more fine-grained to reduce memory and disk footprint. - There is a new feature called IBM Install Manager that will allow creation of scripts that will automate the process of installing Rational-based products.
- The new version can be installed on an existing Eclipse 3.2 installation 
(including Sun JRE).
- EGL and Portal support are being broken out as add-on components (IBM's response to 
customers who said "I want to choose what I buy and install")
- The Web Diagram Editor is improved to include more information about page 
structure.
- JSF support is increased to 1.1.  Third party runtimes (such as MyFaces) are 
supported.
- There are several improvements to the wizards for generating web services.
- There is Jython support for writing and debugging scripts.
- The open beta for Rational Software Architect has been posted for download 
(watch out on the size, though...it's 5GB)
- Rational Web Developer is going away.  It will be replaced by the Rational 
Application Developer Community Edition.  Like WebSphere Community Edition, 
this one is free of charge.  WDSC will be based upon it.
In a separate session, one of the IBM developers talked about IBM's future directions for Ajax. Portal is going to become more Ajax enabled. IBM considers the dojo framework to be a strategic direction, along with the Eclipse Ajax Framework (which provides tools to help build and debug Ajax applications).

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Eclipse/RAD/WDSC enhancement plans



Hi,
Does anyone have any information about IBMs plans to enhance RAD/WDSC?

We have has to transfer our web development to Eclipse 3.2, MyEclipse
and Instantiations in order to have a modern development environment for
Ajax, JSP and Servlet development.

I have always  used IBM tools but it seems that they are no longer
interested in competing in the web tools market.

Is it IBMs plan to use WDSC for legacy and webfacing projects only?

Thank you,

Spencer Elliott
