From a project management standpoint wouldn't have been better if IBM

brought out Lite before the Queen Mary. 

"better" ?  Probably - but that is with the benefit of hindsight.  Reality
is that it wouldn't have happened.  The internal justification has to have
been not simply to enhance green screen development but to move RPGers
forward to the web world.  So the JSP/HTML/JavaScript support also had to be
there.  

To achieve that the System i RSE components were built on top of the
Application Developer base.  To have started from scratch (i.e. the "raw"
Eclipse) at that point in history would almost certainly have rendered the
project impractical from a cost perspective.  Also my understanding is that
the early versions of Eclipse supported layered extensions well - which is
what we got - but it wasn't so easy just to add mix-and-match componentry.
The current version does allow for that and that is why we can expect to see
a "real" version of Lite in the next release.
