RE: How can I "wow" developers with CODE in WDSc 5.0?

Well, eclipse won't run on every distro easily.  I can't get it to work on
Mandrake 9.x without installing other pkgs - freetype IIRC (don't recall
offhand.)  And installing it broke other applications.

I have to agree with Paul on this one.  SWT and Eclipse both run
wonderfully
on non-Windows platforms.  You need exactly one native library (DLL in
Windows, SO in Linux) to run SWT-based applications on any platform.  I in
fact show you how to do that in my Eclipse book.

It's the WSAD extensions that seem to be the problem.  There are some 80
IBM-specific plug-in DLLs, not to mention the 150 DLLs required for the
WebSphere runtimes.
