Eclipse one the 5 primary platforms? (Score 1)

We are going to take common functionality shared between the five primary platforms (GNOME, KDE, Mozilla, OpenOffice, Eclipse) and we do work to get them to a shared platform.

I wonder if Novell is putting pressure on Ximian to back down from Mono in favor of Java? (Eclipse is great on Java, but I'll be sticking with #develop/MonoDevelop.)

Gnome vs KDE. Mono vs Java. How good a fit for Novell is Ximian, anyway?
