Re: [egit-dev] Contributions to EASE

Hi everybody,

Thanks Christian for introducing the EGit EASE modules!

I'd vote for moving the modules over to the EGit repository for the same reasons. It seems nobody here objects to this, so I created Bug 510827 [1] and an inital patch-set [2].

The change is actually quite small, and mostly consists of boilerplate that is necessary because we probably want to keep this an optional feature. The code is only a thin wrapper for the EGit API. As long as it stays this way, I have no problem taking care of any maintenance that might be needed. If you want to learn more about EASE, check out the slides and examples from this talk:

Cheers
Max

Hi Egit developers,

the EASE project (eclipse.org/ease) lately got some nice contributions
from Max Hohenegger concerning Egit. He contributed a library that
allows to access egit functionality from script code. Together with
our API to attach scripts to toolbars and menus this opens ways for
users to automate their git workflow in a very dynamic way.

EASE is concentrating on scripting and script integration in general.
So for us the egit integration is an add-on we appreciate, but do not
have much knowledge about. Also a lot of the used functionality uses
internal egit API where we would have some troubles maintaining it in
case it changes. Is there interest in the Egit community to host the
egit scripting module within the Egit project directly? I cannot speak
for Max, but potentially he would be willing to maintain the code?

interested in your thoughts on this topic

Christian
