Mental note, Raghavender: check the "to" list before assuming that
the message was directed to you exclusively :-)
For completeness, the soc-dev mailing list is monitored by both
students and mentors. This is exactly the right place to be asking
this sort of question.
We're still ramping up at this point. We're just in the early stages
of collecting mentors, so don't give up hope of attracting a mentor
to the project if you don't get a response right way. You may need
to be persistent and ask a couple of more times before somebody
steps forward.
- We know when we start to code
many a time we get a doubt as to what is the syntax or how to
use a particular method, To some extent the description that
pops up for every suggestion does helps mostly for people who
know or who have used that method before. (Reading from API
and understanding, might not be so easy for students).
- So what i thought of was, to
attach an other segment to the "Show View" sub menu, which
would have something like "References/Tutorials". When we
click on this option there would be a small tutorial(simple
code snippet with sample input and output) of the method
pointed to by the current cursor position.
- This would help the student
learn more java features as they are completing their task.
How is this different from the tutorials that are already in
Eclipse? (go to "Help > Welcome" and select "Tutorials")
Perhaps there is an opportunity to improve the existing tutorials,
or add new ones?
- So basically when we see the
error stack on the console, we give another option "help from
stack overflow" or something like that, and get some posts
related to that error or exception.
- Then there would be a new tab
opening (in Eclipse itself) where we can display the questions
and comments related to that error.
Neat idea. We'd need, however, to have some kind of open API that
lets us plugin other help providers (Eclipse is vendor-neutral which
means that we can't favour any particular vendor).
To manage expections... I can't mentor this project.
