As a first step this is about enabling easy integration into build and IDE systems. The next logical step would be to create integrations for specific IDE's and Premek for example has already shown a project that might fit in nicely. For production systems, my personal preference would be to stick with a web application, because that requires no installation and because I see Eclipse as a development tool, not necessarily as an end user tool. But the client API can definitely support other user interfaces, so from that point of view, the more, the merrier! > 2/ Now that the release if out, we need to work on the documentation.

Do you have a link to some background information on how that works? One thing I am keeping in the back of my mind as well is that Confluence will be phased out for creating projects' websites. I don't think we must already move, but at some point in the future we will. We should take that into account as well. The most important thing is that we first must *have* user documentation first! :) > 2'/ Around new features, I'm gonna resume the full support of Karaf next > week, both as a runtime container for ACE and a supported target (including > features).
