I wouldn't expect Macromedia to do much that would add additional

Eclipse Foundation to deliver developer tools and more likely to bring

folks at Adobe know what to do with all these server-based
technologies.
Yeah, latching onto Eclipse is a very smart move for Macromedia at
this point. They can keep the more design-oriented features of DW
(or not spend much more time on it if Adobe decides to keep Go Live
and drop DW) and more easily build on top of the already robust and
hugely popular Eclipse platform.
Concerning Adobe and server-side technologies, I was a bit surprised
at how many server-side products Adobe already has around enterprise
document management, so I think they're more into server technology
than most people realize. It's largely Java so CF is actually a
pretty good fit into their server software organization. I was also
encouraged to see the CF logo prominently featured on two slides in
Adobe's investor relations presentation under "Enterprise Software."
I hope they would have just left it off altogether if they didn't
plan on keeping it. ;-)
