Re: [andmore-dev] Eclipse Gerrit/Git

[David Carver <d_a_carver@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure changing it will solve the underlying issue with contributions.   The problem hasn't been where the source is stored or where it isn't stored, it has been the almost complete migration away from Eclipse/ADT by most Android developers over to Android Studio and the utter lack of Tooling vendors working on enhancements to the base Tooling for Android.  

Commercial adopters would help, but right now there is myself and Thrys working on code contributions.

There are tools for Eclipse and Mylyn in particular that have good GitHub integration.   I personally have never used Gerrit for anything.

I'd rather not move away from Github unless we have a good concrete reason to do so.

Mylyn Github Connector:
https://github.com/eclipse/egit-github

The only thing we are missing that Gerritt would provide is automatic builds of the commits with Hudson.  We have code review and eclipse bugzilla integration already.

Maybe we can document how to use the Mylyn Connector and Github for contributors that want that type of integration.  I personally still use command line for everything when it comes to git.

Hey Dave and all,

I haven’t done much with Andmore yet, but I’d really like to. Once I get my BlackBerry Priv, I’ll have even more incentive. :). At least I want to keep Andmore up to date with launch changes and get it working with the Launch Bar we’ve built to make switching between devices easier. And maybe get Android devices working with the org.eclipse.remote framework we’re trying to push as a great target management framework.

But looking at my workspace, I work on a number of Eclipse projects as well as a number of internal Eclipse and Cloud-type projects and everything I’m using there is with Gerrit. Only a few hobby projects are in github, though tern.java/tern.js is on my horizon.

Anyway, I’d like to open the discussion. I’m not sure keeping things on github has worked in bringing much needed contributions as opposed to getting more of the Eclipse developers to help. Or has it? I’d like to see Andmore move to a more common Eclipse model with Gerrit. What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

Doug.
