The following themes have been identified as requiring efforts to improve user experience
Get a custom IDE
- Problem: Most users don't use all of what's provided in Eclipse (making the UI more "polluted"), and often needs to add some more stuff, which is difficult to figure out for new users. The also are generally unhappy with default preferences.
- Possible Solutions
- Stop shipping "generic" IDEs
- An installer that would let user tell exactly what he needs
- Related initiatives and bugs
- EasyEclipse http://www.easyeclipse.org/site/home/
Import story is complicated
- Problem Assuming a new developer starts on an existing project with Ecipse, it is difficult for him to figure out the right wizards to use in order to start working. Typically, user is given only a Git repo URL and needs to import some projects in workspace. That's not an easy task!
- Possible solutions
- Improve user story to suggest relevant wizards according to what is in the given folder
- Related initiatives and bugs
