RE: EDT Article by Joe Pluta

Or maybe even a Redbook on the subject.

This sounds like a great time for someone who knows to post a reminder of some EGL samples or HOWTO documents as well as add EGL to wiki.midrange.com

Or maybe I should check out the EGL list; I don't think I ever joined that one.

Subject: EDT Article by Joe Pluta

Joe Pluta has an article in IBM Systems Magazine on the EDT (EGL Development Tooling) Eclipse project. I wanted to comment on the article, but on the site I couldn't find a way. Hence this post.

I get confused with all the acronyms. How does EDT fit in with EGL Community Edition?

I browsed around the EDT site and it looked like EDT encompassed the entire RBD product (Rational Business Developer). Is that correct? Is IBM planning to make money on support instead of selling RBD? Will it be like the Java toolbox, with an officially supported IBM version lagging a little behind?

If you want to convert an existing RBD project to EDT you had to make some (maybe minor) changes because EDT has changed the syntax. Which makes me wonder if IBM will roll those changes into RDP, or have the two product already forked?

I admit EGL intrigues me, but I can't seem to find a whole lot of time to read up on it or experiment. So much to learn, so little time when you've got to keep the existing systems running.
