Re: EGL vs. Java

EGL _does_ compliment Java. I was making a point to say "does the EGL way
of things really make it easier than going another level down (or over) to
another framework like Spring, or JSF, etc".

From the sounds of it IBM is going to do it's best to get community behind

EGL similar to how it did with Eclipse, but I am guessing things won't be
nearly as open source as Eclipse.

I would not put it as EGL vs. Java, but EGL *and* Java.

I don't know much about EGL, but if it generates Java, I don't see why they
can't complement each other. Some complex stuff is probably better of in
Java, but, otherwise, enterprise information systems are probably much
better served in EGL.

I hope IBM opens up EGL as they did with Eclipse and Websphere Express.
Otherwise, it will share the same luck of Synon, Obsydian, and other
brilliant tools that stagnated because nobody had enough $$$ to play and
develop solutions with it.
