Re: Removing a plug-in -- WDSCI-L

If these companies have this mentality then they really don't understand open-source. The community behind the open-source product supports it. This in itself has good and bad points. A 'normal' product has the same type of support issues.

The Java Toolbox for iSeries is also based on an open-source project(JTOpen). More direct basis than WDSC to eclipse though. And from what I have heard and seen, it is working out great.

As for WDSC, as far as I know IBM 'picks' a version of Eclipse and builds the stuff on top of it. I would also think that if you had a problem with WDSC that related back to something in Eclipse, they would fix it.

IBM's choice to put WDSCi on top of an open source product introduces the
same question that keep companies from going with other open-source
products: who's going to support it? As long as IBM feels free to not work
on Eclipse problems, and Eclipse has no obligation to WDSCi users, then
there's a crack in the support infrastructure. Uninstalling plug-ins is not
a mission critical issue. I'm just saying it reflects a less than perfect
support situation.
