Re: [tm-dev] Master branch is TM 3.7?

And not to forget, while RSE has it PROs, it also has it CONs. The tree structure in the Remote Systems view is somewhat predefined and hardly to customize, the API is far too thick and inflexible. What I would really like to see is adding SSH/SFTP based connectivity to the Target Explorer project. The RSE SSH based connectivity is probably the only reason to stick to RSE.

Just my 2 cents.

Best regards, Uwe :)
