| [pdt-dev] PDT Incubator project |
|
Hi, During the next few days a project proposal will be submitted
to the Eclipse Foundation targeting the creation of “PDT Incubator” project. You
can read more details about this proposal at the bottom of this email. Since some of you contribute code and patches to the Eclipse
PDT I would like to welcome you and ask if you are willing to join this project
and be a committer/mentor that is maintained under the Eclipse Foundation
projects. If you are interested joining the initial committers or mentors
list, please reply to this email with a “+1” with a short bio and a short
description on your experience with Eclipse/PDT. You can also add your own comments
regarding this proposal. Regards, Roy The PDT Incubator is a
proposed open source project under the PDT Project. This proposal is in the Project Proposal Phase (as defined
in the Eclipse Development Process document) and is written to declare its
intent and scope. This proposal is written to solicit additional participation
and input from the Eclipse community. You are invited to comment on and/or join
the project. Please send all feedback to the http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/thread.php?group=eclipse.tools.pdt
newsgroup. Background The goal of the PDT Incubator project is to experiment with
alternative ideas and technologies for enhancing and complementing PDT. For
example, the addition of Smarty source editing, Aspect oriented programming PDT,
are possible areas of investigation for the PDT Incubator. In addition to this,
the Incubator is also intended to serve as a forum for interested third parties
and a place for the development of additional components and tools for PDT
outside of the restrictions of the PDT project itself. This includes the
development of additional source editing improvements and other components
improvements. Incubator components are intended to stay in the Incubator until
they are mature enough to be integrated into the main development stream. Initial Work Areas APDT �C Aspect PDT The Aspect PHP Development Tools (APDT) [1] project provides
Eclipse platform based tool support for AOSD with PHP. It has been developed by
William Candillon during the Google Summer of Code 2008 [2] and mentored by
Michael Spector. SmartyPDT The SmartyPDT [3] Editor adds a Smarty support for PDT. Smarty
is a template engine for PHP, this project enables users to develop Smarty
projects utilizing the power of PDT development tool. It has been developed by William
Candillon and Roy Ganor. Out of Scope Work in the PDT Incubator will be constrained to only those
efforts that we expect to graduate (i.e. the code will eventually become part
of PDT). It is not a playground for arbitrary development efforts. In addition,
we should ensure that investment in the incubator never leaves the community
with the perception that it is coming at the cost of important work on the PDT
project. Mentors ・

??? Initial Committers ・
??? The initial committers will be all committers on the current
incubator components. Commit rights will be handled on a component-by-component
basis. [1] http://code.google.com/p/apdt/ [2] http://wiki.eclipse.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2008 [3] code.google.com/p/smartypdt/ |
