| AW: [jwt-dev] Google Summer of Code |
Hi Marc, yes, often it does help Eclipse projects find students. Mostly the students working on a GSoC topic are not related to the project at all (although I already have one student that is interested in the JWT View editor topic). So, in my opinion it is worth a try. Probably two or three topics for each project should be enough (it doesn't make sense to have a list of ten topics...). Concerning the Validation mechanism you mentioned: some students of mine developed in the last months a plugin for the validation of workflows. They have already finished the development and are currently documenting the Java code. The only problem is here that they rely on a GPL component (our Wf-Codegen framework), so I'm not sure whether it is possible to contribute that into JWT. We'll see. However, if you are interested in that, please find their documentation attached to this email. But some of the other topics would be great for GSoC!

Though if you have some students of your own, I'd be more than happy to propose ideas that will help JWT become a more complete and polished product ^^ Ex. Extensible validation mechanism using STP's basis, Deployment and even debug tools in Eclipse, UI-configurable ATL transformation using your ATL-based converter or maybe its use to import Visio also thanks POI libs... Or do you think that putting ideas there will help finding students ?
