8:00 – 4:00 VISIBILITY

• FB 4.5 appears to be happy and integrated. Back to the cloud IDE
• looking at the jEdit plug-in architecture, which has a nice example (http://www.jedit.org/users-guide/plugin-implement.html).
  • Oh, drat. jEdit can’t work with Web Start: http://www.jedit.org/FAQ/installation.html#id446561. This is due to the plugin architecture (i.e dynamic loading).
  • Eclipse appears to work with Web Start. On the other hand, downloading the Eclipse environment and using remote file access could be a lot less effort, and download time. My concern is that eclipse comes with java compilers, which take up room and slow the download.
  • According to this FAQ (http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/TM_and_RSE_FAQ), the best option is to install Eclipse on the server and remote desktop in with a VNC such as NX Server.
  • Set up an Ubuntu box in my office to play with.
• Nothing going on with our probnlem server, except that more people are noticing that they can’t get their VMs set up either… Bill. D. did give us a nice shout out though 🙂
