If it makes sense, I'm not against TPTP integration. But from what I
saw a few weeks ago, there is no "collector" part for OSX so the
whole project isn't really useful on that platform. And so - in turn
- I'm reluctant to drag in these multi-MB plugins without any clear
gain. If TPTP/hyades actually works on OSX then great! But please
tell me how...

The main problems are probably related to the multi-editor stuff:
- setting breakpoints doesn't work (clicking in the gutter doesn't
work, the "toggle" context menu does, though
- quick-fix doesn't work - expect in the "Problems" view
- showing the package when a class is active doesn't work.
Workaround: Choose "Show in Explorer"
This may or may not be related with the WOD plugin. It's just that
these issues make it a pain to edit components - more than before all
the enhancements, where you'd simply open WOBuilder through the
"Related" view.
I'm not really complaining though, the WOD validation alone is
priceless and has helped us improve code quality quite a lot. But
still, actually editing stuff is rather messy at the moment, so I'd
prefer to things to stabilize a bit before adding TPTP just for fun...
Cheers, Anjo
