Eclipse UI Outlet

This article describes a proposal for creating an outlet for Eclipse User Interface design. The idea is to provide a community driven thing which can be used by all Eclipse projects to improve their user interface.


Proposal A - Make it an Eclipse project

One way that thing could work is using a regular Eclipse project.

Why?

Because we would leverage the existing infrastructure and the existing processes.

Bugzilla

Will be used for:

  • Submitting User Interface assistant requests
  • Discussing issues and their solutions
  • Attaching solutions as patches


CVS/SVN

Will be used for:

  • Publishing common staff like
    • Icons
    • Design templates/examples
    • Code templates/snippets
    • ...
  • Developing tools/scripts that would help this thing


Wiki

Will be used for:

  • Project website
  • FAQ


Blogs

Will be used for:

  • Community engagement
