My idea is to work through these in the order shown on the page.
I'm looking for comments from those who may be interested in this
plugin, to see what they want/need to make it useful.
There's many months worth of work listed there, especially with
the amount of time that I have available for jgit/egit. So I'm of
course also hoping that others might see something there and try
to implement it themselves. :-)
Hi,
I am interested in seeing GIT support in Eclipse.
I think that doing it in 100% pure Java is ok in long run but I wonder if
you couldn't make "wrapper" plugin for a start (that would call the real C
git for every operation) and make it usable (with full pure Java SWT UI
support) and then try to implement feature by feature in pure Java (with
config options telling what should be called by wrapper and what by pure
implementation)?
This way we could probably rather fast (basic versions of other GIT UIs
were created rather fast IIRC) have basic support for GIT (preferably
with GIT Java wrapper library for other projects) that would be usable for
most users and this way you could gain more interest in the project. Also
testing new pure implementation would be a lot easier (changing one line
in config file to enable some pure Java feature and of course having an
option to come back to wrapped version of this feature if new pure
implementation was wrong).
What do you think about it?
Thanks,
Grzegorz Kulewski
