RE: [mylar-dev] Cool stuff!

["Mik Kersten" <beatmik@xxxxxxx>]

Excellent!  Nice to meet you Erik.  To make getting your feet wet easier,
I'm going to set up a JIRA plug-in in our CVS, and clean up our task list
extension points in the process.  This will be done by Friday, and will make
it easy to incorporate any patches.  Please add yourself as a CC to the
following report:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=110200

Alef, Erik, I've been a big proponent of Spring since I wrote an article
contrasting it with other AOP tools (google: aop tools).  I think that the
Spring Framework has a very bright future, and am very interested in making
sure that Mylar works well for Spring developers like yourselves and Eugene.
We already have support for modeling the interest of XML elements, and had a
prototype XML Buddy extension that did outline view filtering and active
folding of XML, and currently do Outline filtering for build.xml and
plugin.xml.  To get that functionality to Spring developers would
integrating with WTP's XML editor/model suffice?  Also, please do post any
other Spring-specific ideas that you come across.

Mik
