Visual Editor Project 2007-2008 Roadmap

Project focus

In general the main theme is to get back the project on track and in good shape.

From a goals perspective we have the following alternative: 1/ focus exclusively on Swing, SWT and RCP and do it extremely well. Deprecate everything else. 2/ continue to provide a more generic editing framework, and supporting visual editing of non-java target such as GWT, HTML, Groovy, XForms, Web pages, EXSWT, etc.

My head tells me to go with 1/ and my heart with 2/
