There are no such plans at present. While I would like to see the eCos
Configuration Tool more closely integrated into the Eclipse workbench,

I, for one, use the eCos Configuration Tool. I find that the GUI offers
a better overview of the configuration space. Many of my colleagues do
prefer ecosconfig. It really is a matter of personal preference.
