Why not donate it to woproject?

In the filesystem a bundle is nothing else then a folder. So for cvs it
does not make a difference. Same for Eclipse.

There seems to be some missunderstanding. There has nothing changed in
the package explorer. A folder named foo.wo is folder nothing else. You
can look into it, double click the files in it......
It's a lot of work to write a package explorer that shows the
components under the .java file. Like PBX does. The related view does
the 'same' thing. It shows the related files and folders. You can open
a file with a double click in the associated editor. Nothing special
about that. The difference is the folder foo.wo. A double click on it
will open WOBuilder. You can use the alt modifier to open the .wod and
.html files in a text editor. This is just the beginning. In a later
release you may able to set the preferences for the realted view and
choose the action that fit your needs.
