[news.eclipse.technology.eclipse-monkey] Scripting in E4

[Paul Webster <pwebster@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi James,

I'd like to contribute to your project.

With our investigation into E4 we have a lot of interest in scripting 
eclipse.  Both the general "I just want a few helper scripts" to 
"JavaScript support since we'll support the web as well".

Some areas I'm interested in are the DOMs (how to get them right, how to 
plug them in, are there opportunities for metadata to help with tooling, 
etc) and the execution engines.

We've done some simple examples that use rhino where we've started it 
ourselves (we use rhino from the Orbit project), and I'm interested to 
see how Eclipse (Groovy) Monkey manages the runtimes.

You can contact me directly, and I monitor this newsgroup ... we're also 
on irc://freenode.net in the #eclipse-dev and #eclipse-e4 channels.

Later,
Paul Webster
