Thanks, it looks really great!!!!

Let me see if I understand the whole picture, and what I have to do.

1) bzr-explorer is a GUI app to run qbzr and bzr-gtk applets/commands,
because right now there's no GUI for qbzr commands and they all have to be
executed from the command line.  The menu build there is what you want to
see also in qbzr-eclipse and others GUI's
2) qbzr is missing some commands, and you want me to make them work and then
add them to qbzr-eclipse.
3) once qbzr is more complete, integrate in one eclipse plugin bzr-eclipse
and qbzr-eclipse.

I hope I got ir right!

It will be nice to finally get to learn QT too!
