Re: [swtbot-dev] Need to modernize and open project build
|
Hey,
Sorry I've been quiet for a long time... I've been the primary maintainer for SWTBot for some time, and I'm not following up on any eclipse development or working with eclipse anymore (I'm enjoying too much of playing the emacs chords :)
As such I've completely lost track of eclipse -- the last version I used was 3.7. I'm happy to nominate another committer to take SWTBot forward. I believe Mickael has been someone who's contributed substantially to SWTBot and understands the innards of eclipse. I would like to step aside and propose that he takes SWTBot.
Thoughts?

Hi all,
Seems like SWTBot needs a lot of changes to fully work with Eclipse
4.2 (
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=375598 ).
However, it is currently difficult to contribute and test fixes
because of the old-school build which is complicated to run locally.
I think there is the need to make it easier to get local builds and
snapshots. I suggested month ago this bug
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=359024 (move to Tycho)
, with most of the necessary work done, but since then nothing
happened. I'd really like to see progress regarding this, so that it
would be easier to contribute and then to get the critical 375598
fixed ASAP.
We (@JBoss) really need 375598 fixed, and we'll for sure contribute
to it when possible, but moving to Tycho would really increase our
ability to do so.
