[jboss-as7-dev] birth of "console ui" in eclipse

[Heiko Braun]

IMO it's pretty lame to work on three different, redundant efforts:

- the web UI
- the CLI UI
- the eclipse UI

I can somehow understand the CLI UI, but i think the best approach for eclipse would be to embed the web UI. Maybe with a different layout. Something that fits better into the overall frame. But technically it should be possible to reuse the web UI.

I keep hearing the term "like JMX console" over and over again. If  you think that power users require something more generic then the full blown web UI, why not build it within the console itself? And then use it embedded within eclipse?
