Roller Roadmap

Here is that Roller Roadmap that I mentioned yesteday. If you have some suggestions about the roadmap, or (more importantly) if you'd like to help out - please let me know.

Over the wall

Mike's right, it sounds like WebGain is just throwing Visual Cafe over the wall to the open source community. But, I don't see anything wrong with that. I'd rather see old software products released as open source than see them disappear into oblivion.

Java trivia: some consider Visual Cafe to be the first Java IDE, but I think that distinction belongs to Rogue Wave's JFactory - which was introduced in January 1996 and has since disappeared into oblivion (along with the zApp C++ GUI library).

Open source Visual Cafe?

The deal will also means WebGain will halt all development and sales of its market-leading IDEs Visual Caf� and WebGain Studio - the latest version of which is currently in beta. WebGain hopes the IDEs will be picked-up by the open source community, carrying the product forward.
From The Register's May 6th article WebGain to exit tools, Oracle to buy TopLink. If the above quote is true, it means there will be three major open source IDEs (I'm assuming that Visual Cafe and Webgain Studio are really the same thing): Netbeans, Eclipse, and Visual Cafe. And four if you count jEdit.
