Aleks,

We have no current plans to officially expose API in the External tools framework. We just don't have the resources for this release.
That said we will work hard to not to cause anyone any nightmares :-).
The Eclipse Ant integration is making use of the external tools "internal" framework as well.

Hi,
I am working on a python development environment plugin. Right 
now I am designing my debug/launch framework. The easiest path 
seems to be to integrate with External Tools framework just like 
Ant did. This involves subclassing
org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.internal.launchConfigurations.ExternalToolsMainTab
and friends.

The "internal" in the package name makes me a bit scared.

Am I doomed to incompatibility/revisions nightmares if I starts 
using the External Tools framework?

I can see External Tools framework being very useful in many 
diffrent situations, it would be nice to have them officially 
exposed.

Aleks
