    I've never used ROP, but a lot of us here are starting to look into
    AJAX for use in our applications and I'm wondering if some kind of
    AJAX/JSON support via ROP would be useful.

    I'm one of those not convinced that making an Eclipse plug-in is the
    best course. To me there is very little advantage to doing so, but
    that's just my opinion.

    Generating diagrams has never been high on my list, but I know some
    love it. I'm just not sure the path that should be taken to do so.

    Yes! :-)

    That was probably the thread I started ... especially the 8/20/2009 12:55pm one:
