Good. But i think when you started designing geclipse you thought of
having the resources saved in UI (or some place in the grid
infrastructure), and if so I am curious why you didn't go this way.

We have started developing a scriptable interface (through ssh) to gLite.
So I thought of making it compatible with geclipse, because it looks very
well designed and usable. That's why any comment on it could be useful.

That could become a tricky thing for some people. You could make some kind
of synchronizations with the UI, save and restore in another pc.  As I
haven't study a lot about other Grid infrastructures i always suppose that
a UI exists. Just some thoughts
