I was contemplating an Eclipse Feature last night and wanted to get
some feedback.
What I have been contemplating is a way to do pair programming with
people who are remote and possibly take advantage of resources
(people) you don't know but who have expertise in areas where you want
to work. For example, I want to write a plugin extention to the
debugger to save the variable state for a run of code and then do a
diff between runs. The problem is I don't know anything about
programming in the PDE or where I need to start in the debugger to get
this info.
Now, I can go and do the traditional hours of research, reading, etc
to learn all this stuff on my own or look for an expert to teach me.
A way of contacting willing people in the Eclipse community and have
them "look over my shoulder" while I'm writing code could be a big
benefit.
Yeah, I know there are desktop sharing applications, IM systems, etc.
But I was thinking about something built into Eclipse. A way to share
out the current editor (low bandwidth), IM features, broadcast a help
request to a group of people, etc.
Thoughts?
