That's one way of looking at it. Another way would be to call both 'svn' to avoid putting the responsibility of which to use on the author of the RMAP. I'd rather prefer that. Then the clients (IDE users) have a choice of which 'svn' reader they would like to install and they can still share the same RMAP.

This indeed sounds like a better idea, but I suppose this means a number of things have to be changed in the code that retrieves the specific readertype because we would have a map from one readerType acronym (like "svn") to specific readerType classes whereas at this point in time there is always a one-to-one association between acronym and readerType class.

The new code would then need to perform a check on which plugin (Subclipse or Subversive) is available when it encounters an "svn" readerType in the rmap file. What to do when both are available, just pick one, but make sure to always pick the same one ?

Kind regards,
Thomas.
