Ultimately I would like this project to be the definitive place to go for development tools for Hadoop and related projects. So if there was a drive to support multiple IDEs that would be great and something I would be completely behind.
The reason I proposed it this way is this seems like a reasonably scoped incubator project that has a clear need in the existing community. I think it would be better to deliver solid Eclipse based tools, than promise tools for all IDEs and end up not able to deliver anything. I think a design goal of separating out as much core work for reuse would be sensible even in the initial stages, so that we have an eye on later supporting other tools if the community drives us that way. I will update the proposal later on to include that, and additionally some idea of how we could support streaming from within the IDE. Great comments though folks, keep 'em coming!
