Without wishing to offend the hard-working folk who have labored over
the Web Tools Project over the years, I would like to assert that moving
beyond Galileo presents a number of challenges reminiscent of the early
days years ago when I was trying to get my arms around the whole WTP
functionality.
In particular, I find working around the Java EE Module Dependencies
more work than it should be. (I admit that I may just be a slow learner.)
If the complaints I read in this newsgroup and have had myself are any
gauge, some of the directions taken in Helio may have been unwise and I
can only hope that they will hit their stride in Indigo which, in my
opinion, will make of Helios, like Ganymede, a release whose absence
would not have been greatly missed (IMHO).
I'm sticking with Galileo for this reason, just as I stuck with Europa
until Galileo came out (never could get Ganymede to behave well on
openSuSE).
I say this with the utmost respect due from someone who's not himself
making a contribution to the effort. So, thanks for where we are; it's a
great product nevertheless. And, of course, Eclipse itself is nothing
short of dynamite. It's the best tool I've ever used.
