Sure, but it is one thing to create a simple html text editor with
binding support like the tapestry thing and another to have a working
and self-explaining application with stringent IDE intergation...I
w(c)ouldn't put much work into it, because it will be a full-time
project and I have other work to do.

EOModeler is pretty easy, once you do away with the graphic view it's
not much more than a bunch of inspectors. I remember someone from Apple
at WWDC 2001 created a WO app (better than mine) that could do anything
but the graphic view. It's only EOAccess with a bunch of icons, after
all.
RuleEditor is also easy, this would not take much time to make a JC app
from it.
But for the HTML thing, it will be much more useful to leverage an
existing tool like GoLive or DW.

No, you might ask him yourself: Naden Franciscus

But David Teran wrote this a while ago:
--- We have started creating a dreamweaver mx plugin thought currently it only does scanning harddrive for frameworks and WOComponents and displays them in three popups: 1) Frameworks 2) WOComponents 3) Bindings. First you select 1, then 2 contains the WOComponents and the you can check its bindings.http://www.cluster9.com/examples/
maybe this helps to get started. ---- Cheers, Anjo
