Can Eclipse unite?

[fhd]

I'd prefer to keep the README as simple as possible - there's so much in it already.

Great you are asking, because it is more that nice pic. (That is intended for end users)
It is idea of uniting open source project. Letting be aware of each other.

How do you think such idea should be implemented? How to make plugins author cooperate?

The first step I think is informing.

[fhd]

Cooperate to achieve which goal? That's the question I guess. My hunch is that most plugin authors just solve their own, specific problem and then move on.

[paulvi]

That is tight. "What is the goal?" Every plugin has its goal.

Who would care about all plugins to work better together?
Could plugins complement each other and not to repeat (like 4 plugins on marketplace to launch file manager and now Eclipse 4.4 having this feature)

[paulvi]

Could the goal be "make Eclipse platform/IDE better" or "make own Eclipse IDE distribution"?

[fhd]

I still think it's best to keep the README as to the point as possible.
