Re: [ve-dev] VE for Eclipse version higher than 3.2

[Steve Robenalt <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Yves,

Thanks you for taking the time to create a patch for this bug. For the 
past few months, I've been unable to spend any significant time on VE 
since neither my day job nor my evening contract work have provided any 
time to support it. Despite that, I am making time this month to take 
care of some issues with VE in the following order of priority:
1) Restore the build process to enable periodic builds to take place on 
Eclipse 3.3.x
2) Get a version running with the 3.4.x milestones (an official build in 
that case as well).
3) Integrate any contributed patches.
4) Address any critical issues limiting usability of those versions.

Obviously, #1 is the big issue here. Most of the work required to run VE 
with Eclipse 3.3 was done quite a while ago, but has not been available 
because I had problems getting the build files updated, then took on the 
contract work, which ate up my time. There have been unofficial versions 
built since then, but an official version is needed. I'm not sure how 
soon it will be ready, but I've made some progress, and I have a better 
idea where to go for help (i.e. Nick Boldt).

I will be at EclipseCon again this year (my second) and will gladly 
discuss VE with anyone who's interested. I'll also be doing 2 short 
talks related to my contract work (EMF and RCP), and supporting Joe 
Winchester's short talk on VE.
