Re: Eclipse 3.2 support

On the Eclipse 3.2 stuff, I can't remember exactly who it was at the WDSC kiosk at Common I talked to, but I think I was pretty clear on my need to get to 3.2 (it might have been Davis but my days at Common get to be a blur sometimes...not sure if she was a Spring Common). Originally I was looking at getting WDSC to 3.1.2 for my Eclipse so I could run MyEclipse but the WDSC folks said 3.2 was a more likely version.
I honestly haven't done a side by side comparison of MyEclipse 5.0 and WDSC. I was impressed with the Matisse implementation but I should probably try some Swing development with WDSC. We use Hibernate and MyEclipse 5.0 has some enhanced support for that. Finally, the Javascript debugging was supposed to be improved in MyEclipse 5.0 (using Eclipse 3.2). Internally we have standardized on MyEclipse and there are probably only 3 developers who routinely move between Java and RPG. The Java folks use MyEclipse, the RPG folks use SEU (but are moving to WDSC) so I guess we could theoretically move our Java folks to WDSC if WDSC covers all the MyEclipse functionality. I'll look into that and get a "sales pitch" ready. Maybe I'll have one of the more experienced Java folks try WDSC and see what they have to say.

Pete, who told you this?  I have never been led to believe that WDSC will be
concurrent with Eclipse.  There's simply too much going on in the package.
I can ask around, but I haven't heard any timeframe for WDSC to be released
on 3.2 of Eclipse.  Man, I'm frightened to think what kind of upgrade that
would be!

Also, why do you use MyEclipse rather than WDSC?  WDSC has a complete
integrated toolset for developing web applications, including the best test
environment capabilities of any IDE.

I have been running two Eclipse environments for quite some time and I
am anxiously looking forward to the time that I can have one Eclipse
installation.   I use the MyEclipse plug in for all my Java development
and then move over to WDSC when I have RPG or HATS work to do.  That is
because, as I understand it, the Eclipse platform is at 3.0.2.2 for WDSC
and I need 3.1.2 (minimum) for MyEclipse.  At Spring Common I was told
that WDSC will support Eclipse 3.2 "just weeks" after the release of
Eclipse 3.2.

Any idea of when that will be?   MyEclipse has just released it's
support for 3.2 and I'd like to get to one Eclipse install soon.
