I haven't noticed a new type of association between Mathematica packages (*.m) and notebooks (*.nb) in WolframWorkbench. Though, I have seen an emphasis on package and "test" files (*.m and *.mt). Probably because they fit naturally into traditional version control (and the rest of the Eclipse framework) with their human-readable text format. I'm not sure how WRI would/will integrate their 2D file format (notebooks) into Eclipse as tightly. Is there prior art elsewhere in Eclipse?

I usually ignore all WRI product announcements... I have never used a revision control system before. I have wanted to because my website files are XML, and should be easily manageable with one. Unfortunately, (fully featured) Mathematica notebooks are resistant to version control, or so I read on the group a long time ago. From watching the demos at http://www.wolfram.com/products/workbench/workflow/ it appears WRI has developed a new type of .m and .nb file pairing. In the new pairing, the .m file appears to the the primary document, while the notebook is for testing code and generating outputs. Let's hope no one accidentally uses the option to create a .m file from initialization files on one of those notebooks. That might overwrite the source file. How should people go about importing old code (developed with the previous .nb and .m file usage) into this framework? I have many more questions, especially with respect to revision control, package generation and loading, handling of the notebook cache, etc, but I will download the trial first... Do the Workbench developers feel like dropping any knowledge?
