Re: [wtp-incubator-dev] Re: Contributing to Eclipse VEX
|
Hi Franklin, yeah I'm still here. A better place to get the PSF is from
the hudson build itself:
https://build.eclipse.org/hudson/view/WTP/job/cbi-wtp-inc.vex/
You can download the PSF from there an update.
Hudson also has an P2 Zip update site that you can use as well to test
the latest changes. The offical integration changes for the community
are available at:
http://build.eclipse.org/webtools/committers/
But they don't currently contain an update site.

Hi Franklin,
I'm looking forward to your contributions. :-)
A good start is to download the Team Project Set (see
http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP/VisualEditorForXML for the description) to
get all the source code via CVS. Then make your changes and create a
patch (Team > Create Patch), fill a bug and attach the patch to the
bug. Please use Java 1.5 and Eclipse 3.5 or 3.6Mx. Some smaller
patches are better than one big patch because they are easier to
review and patches with more than 250 LOC must get a special IP
approval which takes time.
Hudson is a continuous integration server:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP/VisualEditorForXML
As soon as a change is committed Hudson compiles the code, runs all
tests, and computes some metrics (e.g. FindBugs). If it doesn't
compile or if a test fails then Hudson sends an e-mail to the committer.
The next two weeks I'm on a trip to Nigeria to give a presentation of
Pacx which is based on Vex at the Obafemi Awolowo University in
Ile-Ife. In this time I will probably disconnected from the internet.
Happy patching, ;-)

Hi Holger,
I've been following the activity of the Eclipse VEX project through the
wtp-incubator-dev mailing list.
Since the project was initiated by David Carter about a year ago I
gather that you are now leading the project with David maintaining an
interest and giving guidance. In addition I see that Florian Thienel is
contributing to the project.
I offered my efforts to contribute to the project back last year. I was
intending to contribute initially by documenting the design (as per the
original VEX by John Krasney) since I had some early exposure to the
source code. I am a software developer with some experience with Eclipse
technology. As it turned out, I was unable to put a sustained effort
together as David Carter himself directed his interest elsewhere. That
has changed for me now that I see that there is again some interest in
making this project happen.
So, again, I offer my help. I would like to get involved, initially by
documenting the design and other development information. (I find it
hard to get involved in projects like this without having this
information, so I propose doing this to not only help myself but also to
make it easier for other developers to get involved.) Along the way I
expect to make comments on the current design and the proposed design.
Subsequently I will actually do some development as needed.
My particular perspective and interest is to have an on-line visual DITA
editor. (I expressed this interest initially to David Carter)
To help me get started (again) please inform me of how I need to be
setup to get and build the code locally. What version and configuration
of Eclipse are you building on? What project and development tools are
the standard for the project? (I noticed a mention of Hudson. I don't
know what that is.)
A short summary of the project's status and who is working on what would
also be helpful.
Feel free to copy this to the WTP mailing list if you think it belongs
there.
