Hello Eugen, I'm really interrested in your idea, and already started it maybe month or so ago, My plan was to start the framework alone without any application. Then the applications can be packaged like war,jar,ear,zip, or whatever. And later it will be add/deployed at the runtime via deploy manager application, Something like normal JavaEE/JakartaEE application container deployer. And successfully isolated the framework ( + themes of cours) from the applications and plugins And run only the webtools application (framework). It was very nice but I stopped for a while to do some business applications, then I will continue. So I really like your idea and I am ready to contribute. Regards
