Re: Laszlo-user Digest, Vol 64, Issue 43

The lack of any decent IDE integration was a driving force behind us  
dropping Laszlo from our future development plans.  We certainly don't  
need a visual editor, but a number of features would have been very  
welcome including full "intellisense", external deployment wizards,  
server management/hot deploy support, sample code wizards, full  
debugging support, etc. etc.  Essentially the features of any basic  
JavaEE IDE.  Something akin to SpringIDE for Eclipse would be perfect,  
since that type of IDE integration is almost exactly what is needed by  
OpenLaszlo developers.
