JAX: We spoke almost two years ago, when the Eclipse platform team had just made the transition from Eclipse 3.x to the 4.x stream. As you said back then, “one of the main goals of the 4.x stream was to simplify plugin development when interacting with the platform Workbench services.“ Looking back, do you think this goal – simplifying plugin development – has been reached? Webster: I think that some good progress has been made on two fronts, but I don’t feel we’re quite there yet.
