I am learning to use this product. And, I really think this is a feature-rich product.
However, I think it is somewhat difficult to take full advantage of the product features because the information released through the Java Doc and/or Developer Guides is less than needed.
I think it is better for the customers and JIDE Inc. that the product suite are open sourced to a larger extent. Actually, JIDE can still owns the intellectual property rights 100%. Or, JIDE can still keep the real core classes or libraries private. Open source the rest source files can help the customers to master the product. Derive workarounds. Get going when Java Doc does not provide enough information and/or technical support is not available. And so on ...
This is just my suggestion. But, I think it is important. I believe open source products will help sales too!
