Guess it is time to ask again: Should we have a Midas for Java?

I last asked four years ago, and while the responses here were generally in favor of adding a Midas for Java, the customer reaction was pretty muted, so it didn't happen.  As we work towards Midas 4.0 and as IBM moves towards an Eclipse environment, it is time to ask again, how many would like a Midas Rich Text for Java?  I have done some of the legwork, so it would be perfectly possible, but is it worth the effort?  And if I do add such a product, should it be a separate product or an add-in to the Midas Rich Text LSX so that customers can use both for the price of one?  Any thoughts?

well, I think that it is inevitable ... and makes selling to IBM more attractive :-)

I think that if you made that part of the Midas Rich Text LSX, and made it so that it works from the Eclipse applications like the sidebar, composite app components, and other eclipse apps, its very worthwild.
