[equinox-dev] How much effort has gone into developing Equinox

["Cameron Ross" <cross@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

I'm building a case for using Equinox as opposed to in-house development of a plugin framework.  Can someone given a reasonable estimate as to how many person hours have gone into the development of Equinox?  Also, are there any estimates as to the number of Equinox installations that there are out there (i.e. deployment footprint)?  This information would help to support my arguments for using Equinox.

 

Thanks much,
