Hi,
thanks for your interest in this topic. I guess the first steps
would be to get acquainted with the current system. Try to write
some simple scripts, then register a script location in the
preferences. On the ease project page we have several youtube
videos linked which show the basic principle.
Once you have played around a little, try to locate the source
code that parses available script locations. Single step through
the resolver and try to understand its logic. The main goal then
is to write a custom resolver that can fetch data from a github
repo directly using its web API. Similar counts for gerrit/git
from eclipse servers (I guess they use cgit or similar to allow
repository browsing on the web). For resolving svn:// style
locations you would need some support from the eclipse svn team
provider (typically subversive). There exists a basic SVN module
for EASE which you can use to browse some basic SVN code.
If you feel confident that you can solve the tasks, come up with
a GSoC proposal. In case you have questions on the logic of some
methods/classes, come back to this list and I try to answer them.
