Google Guice |
PDE Incubator Dependency Visualization |
Google Guice is quite new and very powerful tool from Google. It's framework made for dependency injection using annotations. Integrating this tool with Eclipse would be very beneficial for developers using it. Main idea would be to create tool for imaging dependency injection graph or JDT like tree viewers, just like Eclipse Maven plug-in do it with Maven dependencies. Also preparing abstractions for later e4 DI support would be included. |

Google Buzz |
ECF |
Google Buzz is the latest social network / microblogging mechanism introduced by Google. Integrating Google buzz to eclipse communication framework will extend ECF quite vastly, since buzz itself can be linked to many information sources such as twitter, feeds, Google status messages, youtube, picasa etc. Therefore creating a provider for Google buzz will help eclipse users connect to vast number of sources through a single provider. In addition to that, it would enhance the accessibility of Google Buzz, since users will not have to constantly go to their gmail page and check for updates. |

OSGi Dependency Analysis and Source Highlighting |
PDE |
When developing OSGi applications, understanding your dependencies is crucial. The goal of this project would be to create tooling to aid OSGi developers in understanding what type of dependencies are being added. One extension to PDE would allow people to see what each line of code would bring in terms of dependencies. This could be accomplished by annotating editors with dependency information based on imports and each line of code. These dependencies could also be colored based on strength of dependency. Through the beauty of transitive dependencies, developers aren't always aware what depending on something can also bring in. |

Gerrit Mylyn Connector |
Mylyn |
Gerrit is a terrific code review tool for Git. At Eclipse, the EGit/JGit projects make exclusive use of Gerrit when it comes to reviewing patches. It would be great if there was Mylyn integration for Gerrit so we don't have to leave the comfort of Eclipse to do the actual reviews. This project would entail creating a Mylyn Connector as part of the Mylyn Review project and potentially creating some APIs on Gerrit's end to make the connector creation possible. |

Egit Integration for Mylyn |
Mylyn |
The Eclipse EGit/JGit projects provide a team provider for accessing Git repositories. What's currently missing is full support for the Synchronize view and a Mylyn integration to leverage automatic change set management. This project would entail creating a Mylyn EGit connector as part of the Mylyn SCM project and extending EGit to support the change set mode of the Synchronize view. |

CuteGEF |
GEF |
GEF is a great platform to build graphical modelers, but is it ready for next gen graphical modelers ? Many limits adopters are meeting are linked to Draw2D/SWT in some way and graphical capabilities and performances are really different depending on the host platform. This project is about porting GEF to the QT platform to leverage the high level, hardware accelerated and multi-platform graphical API with minimum impact on the client code, just like GEF3D. Among other benefits users of this port could expect better performances, better textual capabilities, great SVG support and special effects. |

EMF Shell |
EMFT |
EMF Shell, this idea is about providing a set of basic commands working on models conforming to the UNIX philosophy : small, focused textually composable commands to process model elements just like UNIX commands are processing files. Each command could provide streams of EObject as input, output or error channels. A few examples : wc to count model elements, sed to substitute values in the model, grep to filter model elements... |

Modeling Example |
Amalgamation |
This idea is about providing an example of application of the modeling project tooling through a whole chain, from Ecore domain model, to code generator and going through model to model transformations and textual DSL. Basically taking the "Modeling Project as a DSL Toolkit" book examples, updating those and integrating them in the Modeling discovery UI available in the package. |

Index Based Model Compare Match Engine |
Compare |
First phase for model comparison is model elements matching. This process might be costly both in computation and memory, this project would be implementing a new match engine for EMF Compare leveraging indexes for keep similarity information and maintain them depending on model events. This would be the first step for a perfect integration of compare in live editors and could lead to better scalability with huge models. |

Model Compare Reusable UI |
Compare |
Many projects or adopters expressed their wish to reuse the emf compare UI (two versions of a model, weaved with colored link and a top level navigation model showing the diffs). This project is about providing a JFace-like API for the EMF Compare UI to be reusable in other contexts. The goal of this project would be to reuse the UI in an RCP application not having workspace or team support. |
|

|
ChangeModel / DiffModel interoperability |
Compare |
EMF Compare represents differences between models with a DiffModel, EMF contains a ChangeModel to collect notifications, this idea would be to provide changemodel to diffmodel transformation back and forth. With this feature one could reuse EMF Compare to show the changes which are going to happen during a command application and allow the user to pick the change he wants. |

Executable Java-based DSLs |
|
DSL tools like Xtext and EMFText provide means for defining the grammar for a DSL and generating its implementation (EMF-based model, storage and text editor). In addition, Xtext provides languages for transforming and generating text. However, the execution is left to the developer. Since, it is often relevant to generate plain Java code, and it would be great to have tools for integrating the source language, i.e. DSL, with JDT tools for navigating code and building, running, debugging (with source line mapping) the application. So the project should 1) identify possibilities for integration and 2) implement selected features, with a focus on execution and debugging. |

EEF / Improve Eclipse Modeling component integration |
EEF |
EEF provides runtime and generation to create advanced properties view editing EMF models. This project is about providing a better integration between EEF generated code and other modeling components (validation, transaction, ...). The main goal is to make EEF using EMF Databinding for the EEF controllers. Integration with others components like EMF transaction of OCL could be done in a second time |

| Bootchart for Eclipse | |
This project would create an Eclipse plugin that would generate an informative graph/chart, showing IO and CPU usage of Eclipse plugins during application startup. Memory usage will also be interesting. It will be very easy to enable and disable. For inspiration, see the upstream bootchart homepage. | Andrew Overholt | |

| Power-user p2 views | Equinox p2 User Interface | The current Eclipse p2 Update UI is targeted to both Eclipse SDK users and end-users of Eclipse-based products. Since the UI must support users with less knowledge than the typical Eclipse SDK user, the end result is a wizard-style (modal), task-based approach. Many power users, in particular Linux users, prefer a modeless, "dashboard" style of interaction. The current p2 "Admin UI" is targeted toward p2 developers who need to see every detail of the underlying p2 model objects. There is a need for something in between these two extremes. Users have mentioned Linux package management front ends such as Synaptic Package Manager as appropriate UIs for this audience. If appropriate, this UI could replace the p2 admin UI, but it's not clear if that should be the goal. | Susan McCourt | Susan McCourt | |

PDE API Tools: Package-level versioning checking |
PDE |
Since Eclipse 3.4, PDE API Tools have helped developers keep track of versions and binary compatibility issues when developing bundles. At the moment, API Tools only handles version compatibility checking at the bundle level. For example, let's pretend you had two packages at 1.0.0, one called common and the other util. If you added API in the util package but didn't touch the common package, then you should bump the version for the util package and leave the common package alone. So you would end up with an Export-Package of common at 1.0.0 and util at 1.1.0 versions. The goal of this project would be add this level of version checking in API Tools. The infrastructure is mostly there, the challenge will be making it performant once everything is working. There may be also a desire to add a versioning policy as the case I mentioned before may be different depending the developer. Some developers like to bump package versions in unison so in the previous case, we would have both util and common at 1.1.0 after some changes. |

Improve Mac and iPhone development support for CDT |
CDT |
There has been some effort lately to properly support Mac development with the CDT. Debugger improvements have been integrated into CDT 7.0. There is also the ObjectivEClipse project from Alex Blewitt that adds support for Objective C to the CDT, but it is currently only for CDT 5.0. The objective of this project would be to bring these all together in preparation for CDT 8.0, and ensure proper integration with the command-line and GUI building tools from XCode. |

Adding OpenGL capabilities to UFaceKit |
UFaceKit |
UFaceKit is a facade to several GUI libraries (SWT, Swing, ..). The goal is to add OpenGL support to UFaceKit. Since OpenGL itself is not a GUI library this can be either achieved by integrating ( and if needed extending ) an existing opengl widget library (like for example twl) or by adding a generic implementation of the UFaceKit widget facade, which then can be rendered using OpenGL. |

Implement a BPMN view for JWT's Workflow Editor |
JWT |
The Workflow Editor of the Java Workflow Tooling project supports switching between different visual representations of business processes allowing users to choose their preferred modeling technique. Since BPMN is an important standard in this area, it would be beneficial if users could design their processes directly using BPMN elements. Therefore the Workflow Editor should be extended with the ability to display swimlanes and other BPMN specific elements (e.g. events). |

Improve Eclipse Git integration |
EGit/JGit |
Git is a great distributed revision control system, thanks for EGit and JGit developers Eclipse has right now quite good support for Git. The goal of this project would be to improve EGit functionality by integrating it with "Team Synchronizing perspective" with is one of the best features in Eclipse CVS integration. Second part of project would be adding support for 'git stash' into JGit and UI for stashing into EGit. Implementing both of that features will make Git support in Eclipse to be closer to "CVS quality". |

An 'Resource Description Framework' Package |
Resource Description Framework (RDF) is ~10 year old W3C standard. Uptake is taking off now, and it would be nice to see a Eclipse project like the Web Tools Package to provide basic RDF related functionality. This would include bundles for RDF libraries (Jena or OpenSesame) and editors for Notation3 and RDF/XML, and perhaps support for a catalog of common ontologies (RDF, RDFS, OWL, DublinCore, FOAF, ...). It could also include a Zest-based RDF graph viewer, SPARQL query editor, etc. There is existing code, for example, developed by the Bioclipse team using Jena, or the older Tripclipse. There also exist commercial offerings stressing the relevance of the RDF platform, such as Semantic Toolkit and the popular TopBraid. |

| Convert Constants to Enum refactoring plugin. | Convert Constants to Enum | Java 1.5 introduces several new features that offer significant improvements over older Java technology, e.g., the new enum construct, which provides language support for enumerated types. Prior to Java 1.5, programmers needed to employ various patterns (e.g., static final int ...) to compensate for the absence of enumerated types in Java. Unfortunately, these compensation patterns lack several highly-desirable properties of the enum construct, most notably, type safety. The Convert Constants to Enum refactoring for Eclipse is a research prototype plugin that provides an automated approach for transforming legacy Java code to use the new enumeration construct. The semantics-preserving tool increases type safety, produces code that is easier to comprehend, removes unnecessary complexity, and eliminates brittleness problems due to separate compilation.
The current status of the plugin can be found at our google code site. There are several facets currently lacking from the plugin which are obstacles to wide distribution, namely, a graphical user interface, test suite, conformance with other refactoring plugins in Eclipse, e.g., undo functionality, refactoring history, refactoring preview pane. We hope to someday incorporate this refactoring into the standard distribution of Eclipse. |

| Model Evolution Support | CDO Model Repository | Support for controlled migration of the data in an existing model repository after models have evolved is one of the most relevant outstanding features in CDO. There are some existing technologies out there for support of model evolution in XMI-based EMF applications but there are issues with data in remote repositories and huge databases. The CDO team envisions a reflective approach to data migration on a low repository level that is complemented with a script language to write migration rules in. All the technical details, like whether to do it in a dedicated maintenance mode or on the fly, are still open and need discussion. | Eike Stepper | Eike Stepper, Ed Merks | Bugzilla 256856 | Jose Manuel Arevalo from -Rey Juan Carlos I University, Madrid Spain | |

The aim of this idea is to provide an editor to get rid of any manual interventions by the developer - adding more value à la PDE Editor. Once the editor is available, it should be expandable due to its modularity to support the editibility of the AspectJ configuration file aop.xml. | Erdal Karaca | Martin Lippert | Bug 282438 | Erdal Karaca from Jade Hochschule, University of Applied Sciences, Germany, Oldenburg

| OpenSocial Gadgets in Eclipse | e4 | Gadgets are web-based software components based on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. They allow developers to easily write useful web applications that work anywhere on the web without modification. As part of the e4 project, we are looking at adding support for hosting OpenSocial gadgets to Eclipse. The current implementation we have is very incomplete, and does not cover the latest OpenSocial specification. One potential GSOC project would be to complete this implementation. Another idea would be to make Eclipse services available to OpenSocial gadgets as optional features, so that gadgets could be first-class views or editors in Eclipse. | Boris Bokowski | Boris Bokowski, Benjamin Cabé |

| Supporting other languages for e4 plug-in development | e4 | One of the goals of the e4 project is to support other languages than Java for writing plug-ins. To this end, the API has been simplified and the platform has been made more flexible. However, we don't currently have an implementation for any concrete language (other than Java) to back up our claim of being language-neutral. The goal of this GSOC project would be to pick two or three interesting languages (for example, JRuby, PHP, and JavaScript) for which to add concrete support. The amount of API to port to these languages would not be very large, so that there should be enough time to give some thought to the question of how best to express the existing concepts (called "Eclipse Application Services") in the target language. Of course, one part of this project would be to implement example plug-ins in other languages. | Boris Bokowski | Boris Bokowski or others | See http://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/EAS | Pavel Drobushevich from Belarusian State University, Belarus

Build for Eclipse IDE for Education project. |
Eclipse IDE for Education |
We need to produce an automated build of our plug-ins. We have done some of the work: there is a releng project that provides a build based on Athena; the intent is to invoke this build from Hudson. It's not currently working. We have recently also added an Eclipse product to the configuration. Ideally, we'd like to produce both a p2 repository with the plug-ins, as well as a complete download (potentially using Eclipse Packaging Project technology). |

RAP/Equinox WAR products |
RAP |
When searching the RAP newsgroup for "WAR deployment" 210 threads appear. The reason for this is that many developers have problems deploying a RAP application. These problems exist because RAP products build on top of Server-Side Equinox. Equinox has special requirements for the deployable archive. To making things easier for beginners and to simplify the deployment process a good approach and tooling is needed. The goal of this GSoC 2010 project is to provide this approach and tooling. |
