Re: Eclipse 3.2 support

Hi Pete,

I fully agree with your point here, and it is the only point that matters in 
this whole discussion... either IBM is serious about Eclipse as a development 
environment, and it supports it with a maximum 6 month delay... or better uses 
the money for something else (hopefully more usefull).

We can't keep on defending IBM with our customers while they're 2 years behind 
and competitors often release updates within weeks !  WDSC gets kicked out the 
picture this way... and often other IBM products follow !

Why is IBM giving its partners such a hard time :-(

Kind regards,
Paul

Eclipse 3.0 was announced June, 2004 and here we are two years later and as far 
as I understand it, still quite a ways from anything that will use a newer 
version of Eclipse.  2 years in computer years is what, 20 years in 
human years? At this rate in 5 more years we'll be comparing WDSC to 
current Eclipse based technology like we now compare SEU to WDSC.  
They'll be saying "You *still* use WDSC?  That old thing! Use something 
more modern!" ;-)
