Re: [dash-dev] Archive the Eclipse Monkey component
|
That is exactly what I signed up for. As for the naming, the project's name being groovy monkey was due to the fact that it was originally designed to be a port of eclipse monkey to groovy. As of right now though, groovy monkey can run scripts written in groovy, beanshell or jruby. I am in the process of getting python back in and if someone can help me with the bloody rhino engine, I would happily add back in ecmascript.
Groovy Monkey is built on the Eclipse Jobs API and the Beanscripting Framework BSF and more importantly (a philosophical difference with the original intent I am sure) it is not limited to working only with DOMs.
Even though groovy monkey is currently a significant step ahead of eclipse monkey, there are still many new features I would wish to add to it.

Bjorn,
I think Eclipse Monkey is about enabling scripting in Eclipse. Renaming it Groovy Eclipse Monkey I think takes away from the goal of having pluggable scripting languages for general purpose Eclipse scripting (for example, we support Ruby now in Eclipse Monkey in our Aptana Studio product).
I think keeping it more general, and adding Groovy support, as was the original pan with James joined, would still be a worthwhile path.
-Paul ColtonJames,
I would be happy for you to take over Eclipse Monkey as Goovy Monkey (or Groovy Eclipse Monkey). I suggest we do so by starting over and creating a new project (technology.monkey). Then you and the new committers would have complete control over the project rather than having it be a sub-component of the current Dash projects.
I believe that Eclipse Monkey has a small but dedicated user base - what it needs now is a similarly dedicated set of committers. You could be the one to make that happen.

I would be happy to migrate my groovy monkey tool into Eclipse Monkey, since the whole project appears to be moribund. There are alot more features I want to add and would love the opportunity to distribute that work to the most people possible.
I know that I was made a member back about a year ago and due to personal circumstances, I was not able to follow up and now my membership seems kinda dead.
I would love it if some ppl took a look at groovy monkey ( http://groovy-monkey.sourceforge.net/update http://groovy.codehaus.org/Groovy+Monkey ) and see if that is the way that they would like this project to go.
Thanks,
James
