Mike,

That sounds great! Currently everybody is heads down in preparing EclipseCon. Will you be coming to EclipseCon?

We could either meet there, or get back to you after the show.

I'm certainly interested in developing a RAP widget which can provide at least the basic functions of StyledText so that I can do syntax coloring. If anyone could give me any guidance on this or point me in the right direction to get started, that would be great.

I think the other problems can be resolved. It is important to note that you want to make sure that your core bundles are multi-session ready.
	
	I can imagine having a "development server" where the tools run directly on the server with multiple users working on the same projects / models. But getting there is not our main focus at the moment. If you are interested in driving this forward let us know.

	Hi,
	
	I think there are a good deal of problems to solve. The first one you mentioned already - StyledText. I didn't do too much research, but I think this alone will be a bunch of work to do. A text editor also does a lot of things from which I would suggest that the implementation makes heavy use of key-events. It's at least questionable if we can provide a key-event implementation that scales on such a usecase. Last thing that comes into my mind by doing a little brainstorming is that eclipse uses the workspace for file storage, but with RAP the workspace is shared across the sessions.
	
	Ciao
	Frank

	Hi,
	
	This is a bit of an open question, but I want to get a an idea of how feasible people think it would be to develop a web-based IDE using RAP e.g. a cut-down version of the CDT or JDT? From what I understand, the StyledText widget is missing at the moment which appears to be the first main issue. Would implementing StyledText be a big job and are there any other major hurdles?
	
	Mike
