Improvements on SmartFrog

Hi people!

       We have developed some SmartFrog components last year such as
JBoss and MySQL. Related the process of developing in SmartFrog, we
have some doubts and suggestions:

       - Are you planning to improve the Eclipse plugin to allow to
click in the component names and its declaration appear as the Eclipse
does with Java files? We think that it  is an important feature to the
developers/administrators to navigate in the hierarchy of their
components. For example, when the developer click on the attribute
that is defined as "comp ATTRIB ext" the eclipse plugin has to show
the attributte that comp is related to.

      - Are you planning to improve the error messages that are showed
in the process of compilation? We think that the error messages and
the way that they are showed are not intuitive.

      - Build.xml file: We think that the build.xml that is
distributed with SmartFrog is extremely dependent on the SmartFrog
directories hierarchy. For example, if a developer want to develop a
new component in SmartFrog, the easiest way is creating a subdirectory
in $SMARTFROG/examples/ to use the build.xml to build his project. We
think that via the Eclipse plugin or via a new build.xml for
developers/administrators is a good idea.

   Thanks a lot,

       Gustavo and Flávio
