| Re: [soc-dev] JDT Core: Additional Java 8 refactorings |
Hi Eclipse Mentors,
my name is Gábor and I'm a PhD student from Hungary. I plan to apply to GSoC and I'm very interested in this refactoring ideas.
I have a strong knowledge in Java. This includes teaching activity, Oracle certs and also a written manual on Java in Hungarian language, which is now used as the primary book to teach Java at our faculty: http://www.szak.hu/konyvek_htm/swjavase.html
I'm also mostly familiar with the new features of Java 8.
As for the refactoring topic, my main research area as a PhD student is Domain-Specific Modeling and Languages so I'm also quite familiar with the basics of computer languages, such as ASTs and transformations, however my research focuses more on the application of Domain-Specific Languages than the foundations of languages.
However, I use Eclipse daily for development but I have never developed anything for Eclipse. As far as I understand the task, it is not a problem because JDT Core is independent from UI and from most OSGi/Eclipse libraries, right?
In total, I think I'm qualified for this project and I find it very useful and interesting. What do you suggest what should I look at for my application? Also, does the Eclipse project have an "entry challenge" or something else to qualify students and test the skills and commitment? I want to do my preliminary research on JDT anyway and create some simple modifications and play with it but if there's something concrete that you would like to see from candidates, please let me know.
I've also contacted Raffi in private mail.
Looking forward to your answer.
Regards,
Gábor
