| [cross-project-issues-dev] Managing project dependencies research |
|
Greetings folks! I've been contacted by a CMU researcher who would like to interview developers regarding dependency management. The short version is this: -- I'm collaborating with CMU colleagues on research about managing change in an ecosystem context like Eclipse. We're looking to interview Eclipse package or plugin developers who have had some experience with maintaining packages where they've had to watch out for changes in the packages they depend on, and/or had to be mindful of changes that might affect packages dependent on them. They could be working either on the Eclipse core packages, or on more peripheral plugins. We're interested in knowing about their strategies for keeping up with change and for managing the impact of change on the users of the API they expose. -- I've explained our project structure, the concept of +1, +2, ... dependencies and general rules for mapping bundle ids to projects. If you're interested in participating in the research, please contact Chris Bogart directly. cbogart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Thanks! Wayne --
