Hi Ed, 
 
It's clear where you're going with this thread and your previous comments of 
frustration re: Genuitec's advancement of MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench. So 
let me include a few details that you omitted. 
 
Genuitec like the majority of the Eclipse Foundation 
members is not a large corporate entity with near boundless resources. 
Therefore rather than concentrate on the traditional developer concerns 
that you raise such as bugzilla and code contribution metrics for which 
there 
is a large population of potential influencers, Genuitec's strategic 
interests 
and contributions are specifically towards Eclipse as an industry movement 
and healthy industry adoption. A top corporate priority is the continued 
investment of a significant portion of our energies, financial resources, 
and influence towards that objective. As a principle, Genuitec strives for 
win-win opportunities. Thus our motivation to facilitate the growth of an 
Eclipse economy. Genuitec wins as well as many other corporations and 
individuals such as yourself that have an interest in Eclipse technology and 
spin-off opportunities. 
 
<side-note> 
Let's see haven't you capitalized from a book deal off of Eclipse? How about 
contributing the manuscript to the OSS? "I'm sure your contribution and 
expertise would be welcomed by all." ;-) 
</side-note> 
 
Toward that end we've supported Eclipse and acted as active evangelists of 
Eclipse technology since its inception.  We pay the fees to be active 
members of the foundation, write numerous articles technical articles 
(including the first on using Eclipse as a rich client over 2.5 years ago), 
speak at industry conferences, educate companies on using the RCP for 
desktop applications, solicit corporations to join the foundation, host the 
free Eclipse Plugin Central website, and serve on the foundation's board of 
directors.  Our contributions already dwarf most of the foundation members, 
when adjusted for the size of corporation. 
 
Jochen - I just saw your comments. Thanks for seeing the big picture.

First of all, an interesting quote: 
 
"...Let's all (myself included) try to keep this group focused on the  
Web Tools Project." 
 
Ted Williams - Genuitec [makers of MyEclipse]

My first impression about MyEclipse (company) was a very positive one,  
mostly due to the professional impression of the website  
(http://www.myeclipseide.com/). 
 
I loosed this impression more and more, whilst getting in real life  
contact with MyEclipse. A mini evaluation with a HelloWorld demo.

During my "read-in" into the webtools (including review of some  
newsgroups archives) i became more and more annoyed by the anouncements  
of MyEclipse, which were made many times in parallel to frustrated  
(webools project) status-request from  community members (some of them  
willing to contribute). 
 
The feeling I have with Genuitec & MyEclipse becomes more and more negative. 
 
I don't know exactly why. Some pointer: 
 
 http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.webtools/msg00 014.html

MyEclipse is a _competition_ to eclipse, in the whole line. See yourself: 
 
One idea of eclipse is, that companies use the eclipse codebase (free)  
to build their products. 
 
One idea of MyEclipse is, that companies use the MyEclipse codebase  
(with a licence) to build their products. 
 
 http://www.myeclipseide.com/ContentExpress-display-ceid-18.h tml 
 
Genuitec's MyEclipse - the silent parasite? 
 
I don't know. 
 
What I know is, that if I invest time to give my feedback to the  
project, i would like to see that companies which use (indirectly or  
directly) my feedback will contribute themselves to the _eclipse_  
codebase back. 
 
If a company builds "a framework to assimilate open source work" and  
makes the codeflow oneway - that's legal by licence but not by (at least  
my) ethics. 
 
- 
 
Is it ok to permanently post anouncements and links to a commercial  
product? 
 
Possibly no, possibly yes. 
 
Primarily, this is an open-source project, where users expect free  
software and most of them are willing to 'pay' with contribution  
(source, patches, evaluation, bug reports and feature requests...). 
 
The community should point people to open-source solutions, until the  
'native' eclipse webtools become available. 
 
e.g. 
J2EE - http://lomboz.objectweb.org 
???? - ???? 
 
- 
 
Never forget: the community is _always_ stronger!

btw: 
 
small details indicate sometimes many things about the professionality  
of a company. 
 
See the very nice design of this page: 
 http://www.myeclipseide.com/ContentExpress-display-ceid-18.h tml 
 
notice the footer: 
"Copyright © 2004 by Genuitec L.L.C - Java IDE and Eclipse Plugin  
Authority for J2EE, Web tools, and Application Development " 
 
now click on the forum link: 
http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+main.html 
 
....the "authority for J2EE, Web tools, and Application Development" uses  
a cheap PHP kiddy-forum. 
 
I would expect from an "J2EE Authority" that they use their own tools to  
maintain a nice J2EE based forum, which has a similar design as the main  
website. 
 
Possibly that's too 'romantic'.

Now, where things are silent again, I'd like to clarify one thing, which  
you have possibly noted yourself: 
 
The java companies and communites have in general terrible communication  
systems. Even much larger companies than Genuitec use bb's and other  
non-standardtized solutions. 
 
So, it's nothing special.
