Re: [platform-ui-dev] ANN: defect tracking plugin - prerelease

[Nick_Edgar@xxxxxxx]

Leon,

This is interesting, but it would be more appropriate to post this to the 
newsgroup.

This is the Platform UI team's mailing list for internal development 
issues.  We are on a tight schedule for 2.0, and unfortunately do not have 
a lot of time to review other plugins (as interesting as they may be). 
Other teams or people on the newsgroup may, though, so you will likely get 
more feedback by posting there.

I don't see the lack of binary as an issue, since many other people are 
self-hosting.

Thanks,
Nick

hi,

its not all the title claims, its not "tracking" just yet, only
submission/reporting.

i'm not doing a binary release, but the source is available, hence no
announce to the newsgroup yet.

CVSROOT: cvs.defector.sourceforge.net/cvsroot/defector
Module:  org.neverborn.edt

it should build once you have the plugins listed in buildnotes.txt 
imported
into your workspace.

features:
    - Help menu contribution ('Report an Eclipse defect')
    - View contribution ('Other/Defect Repositories')
    - 'providers' extension point to plug in additional defect tracking
      implementations

i basically just want people to get a feel for the UI and whether it
makes sense.

misc notes:
- the account details for each repository can be changed by right-clicking
its entry beneath its provider in the repositories view, and selecting
"Properties...".
- the Eclipse repository will always be read-only save for the account
details.
- the current Eclipse repository definition file doesn't contain all the
products and components defined in the live Eclipse repository.
- you won't be able to submit bugs just yet, i haven't tested the Bugzilla
submission code against a test repository yet (in the process of setting 
one
up). the code which does the actual submission (BugzillaDefectSubmitter) 
is
commented out and currently only a Thread.sleep(1000) is done.

attached are screenshots, for people without time to look at the code.

some feedback would be great :)

thanks,
leon.
