Just a meta-comment: you will all get more mileage out of these peeves
if you post them as comments on John's blog. He doesn't read this list
and if you don't comment there, your voice will be lost (to him, at
least).

Er, you mean like allowing myself and my colleague Seth Hodgson to
work with the CFE folks? Early days yet but we intend to work on stuff
like framework support (FB / Mach II) and possibly UML support. Just
remember that we do this in our (not so) copious free time... It isn't
any sort of official support for CFE, just permission to contribute on
our own time!

RDS is protected by a number of copyright / other measures so you
won't see an open source hook for that. Besides, Eclipse already has a
number of database plugins (I use DBEdit and like it a lot).

We already contribute extensively to Axis and several other Java Open
Source projects so I'm not sure why you'd say that.
