great to have you on board.

@Fabian: Can you provide some pointers and advice on building Xtext
stuff with Maven Tycho? Sooner of later (hopefully rather sooner) we
want to make the GSoC projects use the same Tycho-based build as the
main Code Recommenders, along with a Hudson build job at eclipse.org.

@Stefan: Have you had a look at the way the build works for the main
project? If you need any help with Maven, I can help you out. I am just
not familiar with Xtext, but I am sure there's a Maven plugin for it.
(There always is :-)

Best wishes,

Andreas
