Re: [babel-dev] Contribute to Babel Plugins

[Wim Jongman <wim.jongman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I have tried many times to get babel to work internally in the past and I am interested in it's revive as well.

Can we maybe ask Ed Merks to get involved in the build?

What he did for birt, mylyn and window builder is wonderful.

Cheers, Wim

I do approve Denis, yes please kick off the process.

 

Hi Claes,

 

Thank you for submitting for the plugin updates. I haven’t approved yet simply because I was sick and then unavailable, and now making up for my day job: I hope to be able to test and review after this week (over Independence Day holiday in US)  

 

I am working on the server builds to fit with the new Eclipse storage (git) and make the contents of the language files more accessible by utilizing git more.  I have a Jenkins build but the build process takes too long right now to be practical: right now “daily” builds can take more than a day, and the process works on full source jars rather than changed files in a release for each project, leading to a lot of unneeded overhead.

 

I will be putting out a build for 03/2023 and 06/2023 in July that I build manually using the old method, but then switch over before 09/2023 and try to align with SimRel for drivers from that point.

Gerald Mitchell

Hi Claes,

 

I remember you well from many years ago - 2018 if I'm not mistaken. You had submitted changes to the Babel Messages editor.

 

Gerald is a new committer, and he's been working on the server-side, and producing the builds. I have no issues nominating you as a committer if he agrees.

 

@Gerald, would you like for me to kick-off the process?

 

Denis

Hi.

 

I would like to contribute to the Babel Plugin project. However, since there are no active committers to the project it is hard. I made a similar attempt 2017 but lost interest for the same reason. -There simply is not anyone that has time to do code review. Beyond that, the project is in really bad shape. I have it building on my computer but there are a lot of runtime issues.

 

We have used an internal version of the Message Editor at our company but we will need to enhance our NLS tooling soon and I plan to improve the Tapiji bundles to achieve that. I could continue to work on our internal version but I rather do it on the Babel Plugins repository. Currently, I see no real way to do that though.

 

If possible, I would like to become a committer to the Babel Plugins project. I have been an Eclipse RCP developer since 2005 and I am also a committer to the Eclipse BIRT project. I do not have much time to spare, but I should be able to get the project in a usable state at least.

 

Best regards
Claes Rosell
