RE: [WDSCI-L] Why are there Two Clients?

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's probably impossible to reverse-engineer why the directory structure is 
as it is. This looks confusing at first, but the basis, as I understand it, 
is, everything above Eclipse is done with plugins. So WDSC is not so much a 
separate product as it is a set of plugins. Yes, it starts with a separate 
executable, but that probably ends up calling WSSD under the covers.

I'm not sure of the history - WDSC actually goes back to its predecessor, 
WDT, which goes back to the CODE/400 & VA-RPG bundle. I don't remember 
whether WDSC v4 was Eclipse-based - there've been 'way too many changes.  ;-)

Cheers
