I am aware of the dsmcc plugin but in the beginning of my thesis it
wasn't in a useful state. The most of the parsing stuff in my plugin
was already written in april/may 2003. As the mhp plugin is part of my
thesis I just wanted to release it to the community. Beside the
parsing stuff there already exists some code to
capture/display/control mhp applications (which is tested on some
sample xlets), which I will release in some weeks I think.

I know it isn't possible for a single person like me to implement a
full mhp-stack. On my investigations I discovered XletView
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/xletview/) maybe this is a good
start.

This is a good idea i think.
