Hi all,
I'd like to propose that Fabio becomes a committer on XEclipse. Fabio
has created a first patch for XEclipse (connection persistence feature):
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XECLIPSE-28
and he has gained an expertise in Eclipse by creating the Eclipse PSEW
prototype in the frame of the Nepomuk project [1]. He has also developed
an XWiki library for indexing XWiki resources in RDF at [2], that we'll
announce and discuss on the list in a separate message.
PSEW is a generic metadata workbench for Eclipse. It integrates
optionaly XEclipse, which makes it then possible to annotate XWiki
documents from Eclipse using one or several ontologies. This lets you
for example add private tags and personal comments to remote XWiki
documents, or draw links between XWiki pages and some local files. The
idea would be then to also let you publish some of these annotations to
the public server if you feel like it, or to share them with others over
a P2P protocol.
In this context we'd like to help adding several features to XEclipse
like storing various XWiki addresses in the user's preferences,
displaying several XWiki trees, adding custom editors, classifying the
resources by their types (all classes in a common folder, all Groovy
scripts in another one etc.). Tharindu, Asiri, everyone, what do you
think? Of course we would discuss with you the features we have in mind
before committing them, and we'll use extension points in XEclipse
whenever appropriate for not turning XEclipse into a bloated thing!
Here's my +1
