It was certainly inspired by the CLI GUI, though I haven't had a chance to look at the code yet.  The UI piece is probably going to be specific to each (SWT on the Eclipse side, I assume Swing on the CLI side).  The model code could be shared, but there's not much there on the Eclipse side:
* a resource node - represents an addressable resource (e.g. /subsystem=switchyard)
* an attributes node - container for attributes defined by a resource
* an attribute node - an attribute value associated with a resource
* a category node - represents a "child-type" defined by a resource (e.g. subsystem).

The model is built using read-resource-description, read-children-names and read-resource, depending on the node type.

For me, I was just looking to make sure I had access to the management interface from within Eclipse so I could add some SwitchYard specific capabilities to the Servers View.  The "baby console" was just a POC demonstrating the possibilities.

Best,
Rob
