Rob, stop calling more functionality bloat. And 4-5 meg in comparison to 
rest of WTP/Eclipse is lightweight!

AND if our AS adapter is modularized enough we wouldn't need it for 
everything...similar to you dont need TPTP installed even though we 
integrate with it.

remote start and stop.

And the usecases you mention seem to be exactly what RSE covers and 
freely available if you use the resource API ?

It would be interesting if RSE allows you to mount remotely without 
exposing it directly in the project view...

I'll need to play a bit more with RSE to answer better.

btw. how do I get to play with your stuff ?
