Hi Frantisek,

Has you probably know, we are lauching a big collaboration with Eclipse,
See http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/eclipse-webtools/index.html
and I would highly recommand that you explore possible synergy with this 
team.

On the other hand, there were also some graphical tools developped on
top of fractal as part of the work done for openCCM. Could'nt that be
integrated with the deployment tools?

Thanks,
Christophe
