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.

How?

  • Eclipse Bugzilla will be used for:
    • Submitting User Interface assistant requests
    • Discussing issues and their solutions
    • Attaching solutions as patches
  • Eclipse 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
  • Eclipse Wiki will be used for:
    • Project website
    • FAQ
    • ...
  • Eclipse Blogs will be used for:
    • Community engagement
