Mike, Some one comes to ASF with a proposal, typically we give it our full consideration. I can understand why cliff asked about eclipse option (Beehive/Eclipse stuff!), but i can understand Adam/Sam's view completely as I am on the "ASL 2.0 is good" band-wagon and i do want ASF's stamp on everything i do. I really don't mind if Apache gets into Eclipse tools/plugins. We do have Eclipse plugins in Axis2 project. We also have another plugin for running Geronimo inside WTP. So it's not a new thing and the proposal has my +1.
Please pardon me for being blunt, I don't really care about what happens inside IBM/Eclipse or who said what/when. All i know is that we have a proposal in front of us and as a community we take it or leave it or ask for changes if we think they are needed. As far as i can see "since we did it before, we should do so again" is not a strong argument for requesting a change to the proposal. FWIW, i've been on the receiving end of unpleasant surpises as well. Take ServiceMix/Geronimo for example. It's a fact of life here and we all have learned to deal with it :) Thanks, dims On 12/20/05, Mike Milinkovich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > In particular, why would taking Solomon's advice and dividing > > the child in half be benefitial (sic) to anybody? > > Interesting question.
