Re: EGL vs. Java

Aaron,

I was thinking *just* this thing. When you look at how much you get in a MyEclipse subscription for $65 year, it is really quite remarkable. The good news here is that, after a year if you don't see anything in the future enhancement roadmap that tickles your fancy, you drop it.

Would I pay $300/year for a supported suite like WDSc. Probably, yes. Would I drop $3500 for a "perpetual" license (which would need SWMA in order to be "current")? Probably not.

MyEclipse primarily glues open source projects written by others together as a functional whole, like leveraging the NetBeans visual swing editor to Eclipse.

Apparently this works so well for them that they can keep the price down.

I do not think that that model will apply to the iSeries stuff as Rational need to write the projects to glue together themselves.
