The future

Some suggestions for the future development.

Eclipse as is already provides very solid framework for Plone development. But Plone consultant time is expensive and we'd really squeeze the last dribs of code out of them. I have been in touch with PyDev and EasyEclipse developers some time ago and here are some suggestions

- EasyEclipse for Plone distribution with all the necessary plug-ins

- Plone specific Eclipse plug-ins

* Plone traceback parsers. Understand both Python and TAL and click takes to TAL code line.

* New Plone project wizard/paster/buildout GUI hybrid

* Eclipse built-in browser which understands Plone state and automatically triggers core reload and page refresh

* ArchGenXML from Eclipse. We already have in-Eclipse modeller tools which support ArchGenXML compatible XMI export

If you are willing to co-operate with these effort or willing to sponsor them, please contact me.
