------------------------------------

Re: repository or not

I've seen both attempted (just local file system/repository based) and my experience is that it is better to start with a good editor for local resources, leveraging Eclipse team support for easily available repositories (CVS, SVN) if users want. Next, if there is enough call to make repository support a strong requirement, then (as mentioned in the description), that could be a second level addition.

> Currently the ESB deployment descriptor is XML based but we need it to be graphically oriented. Each ESB service is a collection of actions that are re-usable components. The graphical tool would allow for the construction (within Eclipse) of a service from action chaining. The action descriptions would be storable in a repository (though that is a second level addition). We want to isolate the user from the XML as much as possible because it is prone to errors. Plus, it makes service re-usability more problematical.
