No. It means that the *fine-grained* support components for *Java*
will not run outside of Eclipse. The  plan is for the core to
*always* be usable as a standalone, command-line tool.

If we can make the command-line tool into a headless Eclipse
executable, and we can keep the performance of that in the same
range as the current command line, and we can provide a way of
compiling it from the command-line, then we might switch to a pure
plugin based model. But since that involves three major steps, none
of which are completely supported by Eclipse, that's something
that we can't even consider right now.

So, for the indefinite future, the core will remain Eclipse free. But 
most of the extension components that Jim and I will be working on 
will be Eclipse specific. (I think Dave is going to be working on
core extensions that don't use Eclipse.)
