I am? Oh well :)

(Actually the problem is the same with Eclipse itself as SWT is
platform-dependent, which is why there is 16 different supported platform
downloads on the full Eclipse download page. Two for Windows, seven for
Linux and three for OS X. There is even one for AIX which _could_ possibly
run on the i, but probably won't)

I strongly agree that the best way to add code to a Java IDE is to write it
in Java, but unfortunately porting code to production quality is quite time
consuming, and it may be easier to write a small wrapper C which allows it
to be invoked from Java directly. That is how Java itself interfaces with
the JPEG decoder. There is no de-facto standard way to interpret compiled
binary code from any platform in Java, which might be the future way to do
this. NestedVM is one approach doing so with MIPS-binaries.

Hope that clears up things :)

(and I'd like the RDP product to change from a proprietary thing to
something which can easily just be put in the latest Eclipse download, but
that is another story)

You make it sound like a new feature to have a linux client when they really
have screwed it up years ago because the base platform, Eclipse, is
multi-platform capable.

The usage of not portable C libs was definitly wrong in the first place.

Hope the did some bugfixes on the outline. It still is a mess.

... enough ranting from me ... long live RDP (till the next name change) =)

I believe the problem is that much functionality is leveraged from
existing libraries written in C, and getting those libraries to run well
on multiple platforms is quite a different story.
