By accident I came on this page:
http://www.eclipse.org/callisto/
I was supprised I never heard of it before, still it seems to be very interesting if you are developing with eclipse. This is a project that is going to release about 10 large projects of eclipse at the same time. So no dependencies on old versions of other projects. Since I am using eclipse WTP and want to do more with performance testing, this sounds very interesting to me. Now I am using wtp 1.0 and I would like to upgrade. THis should be very easy now. I have to wait about 2 days, then I can have a look at maven integration. I am afraid this is going to be the hardest part I think.
Stay tuned
