Here some use cases that come to my mind:

- Add/Change packages
  - Edit/Create package Templates
- Add/Change projects
  - Edit/Create project Templates
- Add a "New Buildservice Package/Projekt" Workflow
- Edit specfiles and debian/* files using eclipse and upload them to the
  buildservice automatically
  - could be achieved in using/integrating existing technology, e.g.
    https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/eclipse-rpm-editor
- monitor build status
- download (and maybe even deploy package(s))

More advanced:

- Add a new view similar to the CVS Browser to be able to browse
  projects/packages on the buildservice and download them with rightclick

[...]



Btw.: on
http://code.google.com/soc/2008/suse/appinfo.html?csaid=DFC9A170A95499CD you
wrote, that the eclipse integration would depend on osc. I do not think, that
this would be a good approach. An eclipse plugin should work out-of-the-box
without installing additional software, IMHO.

For internal purposes I started writing a java client for the buildservice to
be able to upload, download and query the buildservice from within ant-tasks,
that are integrated into CruiseControl¹.

Maybe we could combine our work and create a java client library for the
buildservice.
