Sun may be joining Eclipse [link|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,1236132,00.asp|Sun Mulls Joining Java Eclipse Effort]. At first glance it seems like a good thing. However, it raises a number of troubling questions.
1) Eclipse is based on SWT, does this mean SWT will now be part of Java?
2) What does this mean for Swing?
3) Does this mean Netbeans is dead?

Competition is always good, and I believe that the competition between
Sun and IBM (Netbeans and Eclipse) spurred each to greater heights. If
Netbeans withers away who will push Eclipse?
