[gmf-dev] Introduction

[Anthony Hunter <anthonyh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Team,

I thank you all for the opportunity
to contribute to the GMF project.

An introduction is in order since I
was unable to attend the kickoff.

I have been at IBM Rational for almost
10 years. I have worked on applications based on Eclipse technology for
the last six years. You are likely familiar with Rational XDE and Rational
Software Architect both based on Eclipse (In fact, the early days of XDE
was based on an internal IBM project before being contributed as Eclipse
1.0).

My primary focus over the years has
been centered on user interface and the core frameworks built on core Eclipse
technology. I am presently manager for the team that contributed the core
common frameworks to GMF. I have been a member of the team since day one
of our project (so yes, you can blame me).

Specific items I have worked on, call
them my highlights:
- First version of the Eclipse plug-in
for team integration with Rational ClearCase back in 2001, the core of
which is still in production today.
- A tabbed properties view that is now
contributed to the Eclipse web tools project (org.eclipse.wtp.common.ui.properties).
- The UML Modeler component in Rational
Software Architect.

I look forward to working with the team
and contributing to the success of our project.

Cheers...
Anthony
