If you like so much VE, we need help!
For instance there are 100's of open bugs.
Having a look at those, and adding a comment if they are still relevant
would be super useful.
Open VE bugs and requests are there:

Hi

I'd really like to contribute to VE; what are the requirements? I guess
EMF and GEF, right? Is there any documentation about the development of VE?

cheers
Lorenzo

Nope there is not much in terms of documentation.
Something that could be awesome adn invaluable:
try to figure it out on your own. :-)
And even better, keep a log of your findings, tips and trick (does not have
to be pretty) on a wiki page:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/VE/Contributing


I created a project set for starts that you can get there:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=203317
Then you can pick a bug, a small one, like an enahencement request,
something that you can relate to, rather a small end user feature, something
that bugs you!
Here is a list of all open bugs:
http://tinyurl.com/2an8jw

When you pick a bug, cc your self on it, add a comment telling that you are
working on it, and start the discussion in the bug comments.
If you have questions, post them here or on the ve-dev list.
Then as soon as you have the smallest fix working, attach a patch to the
bug, and send a heads up on the ve-dev list.
There is a documentation on how to write patches and contributing to eclipse
there:
http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77

we are all re-learning that beast which is a big piece of code.
Thanks for your interest!

I hope the code is at least documented ;-)

I'll take a look...

by the way, could it be possible to benefit from GMF (that aims at
bridging EMF and GEF)?

Sure, it is Eclipse and open source./
So that is fair to steal from it, borrow code from it, and even better work
with them such that we share code and features if needed.

I wasn't actually thinking of taking code from it, but have GMF generate
the visual editor (parts of it, at least).

GMF already provides all the functionalities to easily generate a
diagram editor... but somehow one should contribute graphical figures
representing Java GUI widgets...

That is an intriguing idea :-)
I wonder if this could work, as there are a lot of stuffs in the widget
model, but hey! who knows?

I've only started to read docs about GMF and it looks reaaaaaly cool...
what would be great is to have a mapping between Java classes for
graphical widgets and graphical widgets themselves... this would permit
employing the automatic bridge between EMF and GEF that GMF could build
for you!

Do you know GMF?

I played with it a bit, even gave a training on it about a year ago, but not
much beyond that.
I think I forgot most of it :-D
Reusing some GMF tech in VE could make lotsa sense.
I have no idea if thise could work though .
Your opinion is much welcomed.

In the meantime I've asked on the gmf newsgroup about possible figures
related to Java widgets, and it looks like there are some (but only for
buttons I think); not having to do with GEF directly would save a lot of
effort I guess :-)

yes!
Anything to experiment and make things simpler is worth it.

I played with it a bit, even gave a training on it about a year ago, but not
much beyond that.
I think I forgot most of it :-D
Reusing some GMF tech in VE could make lotsa sense.
I have no idea if thise could work though .
Your opinion is much welcomed.

In the meantime I've asked on the gmf newsgroup about possible figures
related to Java widgets, and it looks like there are some (but only for
buttons I think); not having to do with GEF directly would save a lot of
effort I guess :-)

yes!
Anything to experiment and make things simpler is worth it.
