Eclipse for Smalltalk?!
James Robertson has a report from Smalltalk Solutions 2003 about set of plugins for using Smalltalk under Eclipse. This is an interesting idea, although as James points out, this will probably never be as good as a native Smalltalk environment because the extensibility points are dictated by Eclipse's Java API. It certainly might get a bunch of people to try Smalltalk. On the other hand, if this kills off the native Smalltalk IDE's then what happens once people figure out what you can really do with Smalltalk? I have to agree with James that this probably isn't going to help Smalltalk. Next we'll be hearing about Eclipse for Lisp...

The extensibility of Eclipse is one that I'm intrigued by. At the same time the architecture seems very nicely extensible (and I know firsthand how hard that is to do), at the same time the fact that it's Java makes it somewhat harder to integrate with other technologies. So, nice for Java folks, but for the rest of us more of a hurdle than I'd like.
