code review tool for all editors? [message #504512]

hi..

we are an insurance company looking for a code reviews.

i've been looking into saros, and it looks ok, but so far does not provide inline chatting.

another thing i'm looking for is the ability to assing notes and comments OUTSIDE the code, meaning a plug-in that will provide some how the ability to add comments in a special view, said comments would be attached by line and file id. the data would be sent to a repository (not version control as we don't use it for cobol).

i'm also wondering if we have options the integrate Google wave into eclipse (i understand the ECF is planning on it, but it's not ready yet).

Sounds like Mylyn to me. You can track the notes/comments in a bug and
then use the task editor. You can activate the task to filter out the
unwanted items and see only the methods interested in for that task
(that works for Java, you may have to extend Mylyn for cobol)

but what would mean to develop an entire bridge for cobol model.

wouldn't be easy to develop a plug in which has a view end the ability to edit notes.

the plug in would be connected to a database, and each record would contain a user,resource id, line number, and the actuall text.

the editors would display an marker on each line's position and hovering over that marker would display the note.

Check out Code Collaborator. Not perfect, and the Eclipse integration isn't as
good as it could be, but it works well enough that we use it productively at my
company.

thanks but after speaking to a cuple of folks, what they want is something simple, they actually want a workflow manager not a collaberator. something that would allow a user to mark a few files in the project send a message to the reviewer to check, while said file would not be commited to version control until the reviewer confirms them. (also by eclipse)

Not sure if this is an option but there's a project called
http://www.inso.tuwien.ac.at/projects/reviewclipse/ which interates into
SCM-Systems and let's one do reviews based on those changesets.

it would have been an option if it weren't for the fact that is supports only svn, we are using clearcase (for now) and even that involves a special script.

Probably getting into contact with those guys and investigate whether
you can collaborate on this?

I know they are working on GIT-Support right now and will very likely
move the whole codebase over to Eclipse (as part of Mylyn-Project).

There is a project called Jupiter which is a code review plugin for Eclipse.

Check out ReviewClipse:
http://eclipse.dzone.com/articles/reviewclipse-supporting-ag ile

I just read an announcement that it's being proposed as a sub-project
under Mylyn.
