That is what I am also thinking. As it was said earlier, that a stand
alone version for Fedora Eclipse Packager can be made, we should start
working on that. The code already exists for the backend. We can
design a GUI with gtk+ and put all the features in a simple to use
interface.
Well, the GUI already exists as an Eclipse IDE plug-in, my suggestion
was to just turn that into an Eclipse Rich Client Platform application
(read up on Eclipse RCP to see what I mean.) I believe that is also
what Chris Aniszczyk hinted at. There's really no need to redesign it
from scratch!
