Re: Eclipse 3.2 support

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks.  I was aware that WDSC was behind the development curve I was 
just *hoping* that it would end up being closer to the current rev of 
Eclipse.

It is no big deal really.  I can run both WDSC and Eclipse 3.2 with the 
MyEclipse plugin in separate workspaces.  It would just be nice to have 
one place to go rather than two.
