Hi all,

I had this idea two minutes ago. I am proprosing an idea to build an
IDE called "Visual Jython" with Eclipse technology. This IDE is
targeted towards building enterprise client applications running any
Java platform mostly non-web based clients.

My background is diversed in UNIX variants, Java and Python. Here are
something off the top of my head.

1. Basically from UI perspective, it will be like as name implied
"Visual Studio" like.

2. plug in architecture
This IDE should define or use a componenent architecture to plug &
play component written in Java confining to a Jython Plug in API. For
instance, we can develop plug in for ODBC, Oracle, DB2, Informix, MQ,
SAP etc for enterprise uses.


3. gluing languag--Jython
maybe we need funding to support Jython for this matter to make it
commerical quality.


4. .NET integration?
Should this IDE generate code that can run on top of .NET to attract
more VB/.Net programmers into this field?



Welcome comments on features this IDE should have. 

cheers,
Victor
