[recommenders-dev] New Codesearch Incubator

Hi,

this is a brief heads up notice. We've received a contribution from Tobias Boehm [1] who developed a local code search engine based on Apache Lucene as well as three different query languages with Xtext. The code is currently under review by Eclipse Legal and will, step-by-step, move into the newly created recommenders.incubator project. I've created a new incubator repository for code search and asked webmaster to enable Gerrit for this repo. The project will be build on top of Eclipse CBI.

I'd like to thank Tobias for his code contribution to Recommenders and hope he'll be able to continue working on it in future - despite his new Job at BSI AG (the Eclipse Scout Company) :) I'd also like to encourage others to build their own tools on top of this search index as, for instance, already discussed with Massimo [2] who would like to work on a 'Definition Recommender' for Eclipse based on Tobias' code search engine. Lots of work in sight - but I'm very much looking forward to it.

If you are interested in working on code search in Eclipse (e.g., example snippet search, query languages, definition recommenders, improved ranking strategies, code indexing techniques - or any other area), let us know. The recommenders.incubator welcomes your participation!

Thanks,
Marcel
