I am sure I am not the only person that would like to see the VCE in some
shape or form in Eclipse.  Initially I found it extremely difficult to
adjust to the VCE way of doing things.  Now that I have been using it for a
while it has grown on me and I would love to be able to continue using the
VCE in Eclipse, but I fear this will not be the case.  I have heard numerous
times that IBM hopes somebody will "step up" and produce a VCE for Eclipse,
but has anybody heard if IBM has any future plans to port the current VCE to
Eclipse?  I would hate to see a year of VCE growing pains wasted to have to
learn another VCE.
