Re: [babel-dev] Does Eclipse Babel suffer from the "not invented here" s

[Denis Roy <denis.roy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Claude,

We didn't actually start something on our own.  The Babel project 
started under a premise that Aptana contribute the code to a web app 
that they were using for the translation of their own applications.

   http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/babel/
   http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/babel-dev/msg00002.html

We could have started with anything, really, and the Aptana contribution 
gave us a great head start.
