[jbosstools-dev] Modeling Management Objects (was: birth of "console ui" in eclipse)

[Rob Cernich]

Hey folks,

I've spent a brief amount of time adding SwitchYard specific console features into the Eclipse Servers View.  It would be a *huge* help if the models used in the GWT console could be used in Eclipse.

That said, there is a lot of mileage to be gained by simply being able to use the AutoBean framework within Eclipse.  Does anyone have any experience using AutoBeans in an Eclipse or OSGi environment?  (In SY land, we're slowly moving to a place where our core management/configuration model API can be used in the tooling as well.)

Best,
Rob
