    Happy New Year! Over the holidays I finally found someone that has created a blog editor on Eclipse RCP. Lokesh Shah is creating JBlogEditor. It is still a beta version so it still needs some work. For instance, I would love to have a WYSIWIG editor. However, I am writing...

I’m a huge fan of agile development methodologies (especially Extreme Programming) and so recommend that you at least...
