Re: [ide-dev] what about doing less?
|
Hey Kaloyan,
This is an interesting direction that worth brainstorming.
What would you take out of the Java EPP to make it again the killer Java
IDE?
I think it is not as easy as "remove bundle X or do not install feature
Y"... unfortunately...
The questions that are coming up for me are (for example): what would be
necessary to get the Eclipse IDE starting up and be ready to use in
2sec, for example? I know, it sounds a bit crazy and maybe seemingly
impossible, but those are the questions that help me to think about this.
What do you think?
Cheers,
-Martin

Hey!
I would like to propose a work item for the ide-dev working group
that focuses on doing less. By that I mean instead of adding
features to the existing platform and/or IDE I would love to reduce
the scope, reduce the number of features, and reduce the amount of
code - and focus on improving the remaining parts.
The question that drives me is not what is missing from todays code
base or EPPs, but what is too much, and even if we strip things
down, what is still not lightweight enough, not
fast/slick/performant enough, not high-quality enough to make the
Eclipse IDE a killer app again.
I (obviously) don't have ready-to-use solutions/answers for this,
but I think following this direction could be interesting (make
people enthusiastic about the Eclipse IDE again).
Just my few thoughts at the moment... ;-)
Cheers,
-Martin
