Yes Asiri,
XEclipse rocks ! An engineer at AFP also liked it a lot..
We just need to get XWiki Objects and Comments in it now !
Yes I Agree. I think Fabio has some expertise on this subject which will be really useful. I'm hoping to work with him to implement this feature.
This is great work !
Congrats..
Thanks.
