I know that it is not required, but is more easy to me to collaborate
with my colleagues that they all are Eclipse´s fans (like me)

That´s another good reason to use it, because I use Python, R, Java
and Bash on my daily work, and if it can integrate it with SELinux, better.

Good, if you need any help on the development, it´s a interesting
