great! :-)

well, your code would focus on implementing the geclipse model for PBS, so 
PBS as middleware, so it wouldn't fit into the eu.geclipse.batch plugin 
(ie, the batch system editor etc) anyways i think.

But the whole PBS support (the few pbs specific classes in 
eu.geclipse.batch plus your code) could be put together in a pbs plugin.
That is one possibility, the other one would be to create a completely 
independent plugin for the "PBS as middleware" part.

Anyway, as you know we have part of our code in the Subversion repos at the 
Eclipse Foundation, and our own CVS repo for the code which cannot go into 
the EF for legal/copyright etc reasons. We cannot give you access to the 
EF code (lengthy legal process with several conditions etc), but you can 
submit your contributions to that part of the code via bugzilla, attaching 
the patches to the bug.

On the other hand we can give you access to our CVS repo, for instance if 
you want to contribute a separate plugin etc. That way we could also later 
integrate it into the build/release etc. if you want.
Anyway, you are in contact with Harald G and he is the right person with 
whom you should discuss how to best structure the PBS pieces.

Cheers, Ariel
