Re: [egit-dev] Having git config values in code templates
|
The code here is very simple and only depends on base eclipse bundles. I
think it makes sense to have these variables made available via eclipse
git ui bundle IMO.
A PR would probably be the first step - and since its more than a few
lines of code a CQ is probably needed to be opened by egit leads too,
but since it is very simple and under EPL that would hopefully be easy
to get done.

Hi,
I hope this has not been asked before.
= Short version
What needs to be done to make [1] a part of eGit?
= Long version
The @author tag of JavaDoc supposed to contain some kind of commonly
understandable identifier of the author(s) of the given Java file.
Developers often use their full name of a combination of the full name
and e-mail address.
As a matter of fact, there is no full name variable available in Java
Code templates that are used when creating new Java files. There is
only ${user} that resolves to the current user's login on the local
machine which often fails to serve as a generally understandable
identifier of the author.
There is a couple of ways to workaround this (e.g. hand-edit the
template, override java.user in eclipse.ini) but they are error prone
and hard to enforce in team environments.
I recently stumbled accross eclipse-git-template-variables plugin [1]
that simply makes the values from git config available in java code
templates. This solves the above problem very elegantly.
However, making a team dependent on a plugin developend by an
individual sounds quite risky.
Therefore the question: What needs to be done to make [1] a part of
eGit?
I am not the author of the plugin, I do not know its internals and I
even have not tried of it works. But if there is a chance that it
could be included in eGit, I am ready to help in some form.
