RE: [eclipse-dev] What's happening after 2.1?

["Dave Wathen" <dave.wathen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wasn't actually suggesting C#/.NET support but why not?  With
a C# scanner/parser and a .NET code generation engine running
off the same internal representation as the Java compiler you'd
not only get C# support but be able to develop Java to run on
.NET and C# to run on a JVM too.

I'm desperate to see .NET/C# support. VS.NET absolutely sucks, especially
compared to Eclipse, but the .NET Framework is neat and if you're developing
Windows products...I know, I know...
