I certainly think there may be opportunity here from a model perspective.  For example, creating higher level types than "resource" (e.g. data source), that encapsulate specific resource types within the server.  That said, I'm not sure if there is any support available for the AutoBean framework in Eclipse (knowing the console makes heavy use of AutoBean).  If there is, that would certainly simplify adding more detailed capabilities.

The model used in the Eclipse POC is simply a model around the low level, generic resource API, nothing more.  It's simple, complete, but not very pretty (or usable, in my opinion).

Best,
Rob
