Re: EGL vs. Java

Brad Stone has one (www.bvstools.com). Not sure if he is selling it or not
anymore. Like I said in an earlier post, this move by IBM might make for
some good competition :-)

Dave,

How hard would it be to roll your own PDM? Maybe an opportunity for a
useful System i community open source project?

I agree with Tom. I'll happily give up SEU, SDA, and RLU, but until

there's

a graphical interface that provides sub-second access to thousands of
objects or members without building a filter first, PDM is a very valuable
tool. You don't want to know how long it takes RSE to list the handful of
source files (with, as I said, thousands of members) in our production
source library on a simple drill-down.

I'm eyeing this change with a bit of dread. Our machines are P50s with
roughly 150 developers. I could see someone deciding that everyone gets
ADTS only as a cost-saving measure. It would be so much easier to argue

the

case for getting RDi for those of us who want to use it if PDM wasn't part
of the equation so that we would never need ADTS again...
