Overall Goals and Themes

  • Allow Eclipse projects to better model real-world setup of projects (Theme: Ease Of Use).
    • Be competitive / integrate with with (Visual Studio, Slickedit, Netbeans, IDEA). Integrate with (Maven, Proprietary project systems...)
    • Make it easier for end-users to get their stuff into Eclipse (Theme: Facilitated On-Boarding)
    • Better support Aliases (symbolic links)
    • Scalability - Better support very large workspaces (by means of Filtering)
  • Support pervasive distributed workspaces
  • Improve concurrency and programming model to fit in the overall E4 world

Requirements

  • See the E4/Resources/Meeting/19-Sep-2008 Kick-off#Interested Parties and Background for the various interested parties, their background and Requirements.
  • Do not break basic assumptions that clients of Eclipse Resources have today. What are these assumptions?
  • Support the current form of resources today, and more.
  • Support file-list based projects.
  • Support natural organization of projects (physical nesting).


Use-Cases

Open an existing Eclipse 3.x project

Workspace compatibility is a must.

Import an existing DevStudio project

  • Just toss the wsp / wpj files into Eclipse and use CDT's parsers immediately. Provide the same views as Devstudio.

Debug an Exectuable without a Project

  • Assume that the Exe has debug info embedded. start debugging it immediately without having to set up a project. Support static analysis / parsing and symbol navigation seamlessly.

Support mixed Java/C++ projects easily

Set up a Team-shared Workspace

  • On-boarding an existing team must be as easy as double clicking a file.
