Re: [WDSCI-L] Plug-ins from iSeries Vendors

Vern,
iSeries Navigator is not an IDE.  Now if IBM started putting hooks into it from 
WDSC and not fully putting it into WDSC, then that would be an issue to me.

I would not be surprised if IBM re-did Navigator so that it was based on the 
Eclipse 3.0 client framework.  Some of their other products are already headed 
in this direction.   To me this would be a big step in the right direction.  You 
could install one set of 'base code' and then add in the stuff(plug-ins) that 
you need.  Need admin control, install this plug-in(s). Need an IDE, install 
this plug-in(s).  True Plug and Play.. :-)
