Re: [soc-dev] Proposal/Mentor application: ... refactoring plugin

Hi all,

I was a former proposed mentor for Eclipse GSoC back in 2010 and 2009 (please see the emails from this list below from those times). I have recently returned to academia and am wondering if any students may be interested in working on some refactoring projects as a proposal for GSoC 2015. Would it be possible to be a proposed mentor this year? I am not a committer, but I have been involved with Eclipse several times in the past. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Raffi

P.S. I am also at EclipseCon NA 2015 this year.

No, I am not a committer, but I have been involved in incorporating this project into the standard distribution of Eclipse (see bug 200152; https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=200152). Although I would greatly appreciate help from an existing mentor, I have the most intimately knowledge regarding the project. I was accepted as a mentor last year; I will forward that email to you in hopes that it will help with this year's competition. Thanks again!

>>>>> Hello. My name is Raffi Khatchadourian and I am graduate student with the Computer Science & Engineering department of Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA. I have been involved with the development of an Eclipse refactoring plugin called "Convert Constants to Enum" (http://code.google.com/p/constants-to-enum-eclipse-plugin/) which refactors Java code to make use of the new enum construct introduced in Java 1.5. The original plans for this plugin was to have it directly incorporated into Eclipse along with other (standard) refactoring plugins, however, due to various reasons, the progress of the plugin has been stagnant. Although the core functionality of the plugin has been completed, several key elements are missing in order for it to be released publicly. They include but are not limited to a complete graphical user interface (refactoring dialog), refactoring histories (for undo support), refactoring preview pane (before and after images of the source code), and a "complete" set of test cases. As such, I have posted these extensions as a possible candidate for a summer project on the Google Summer of Code ideas page (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2010_Ideas) . I am interested in seeing the plugin completed and distributed publicly as originally planned, and I believe that SoC would be a good venue to see that through. I am also willing to be a mentor for the project. My link ID is khatchadourian.
