Hi Claes,
Thank you for submitting for the plugin updates. I haven’t approved yet simply because I was sick and then unavailable, and now making up for my day job: I hope to be able to test and review after this week (over Independence Day holiday
in US)
I am working on the server builds to fit with the new Eclipse storage (git) and make the contents of the language files more accessible by utilizing git more. I have a Jenkins build but the build process takes too long right now to be
practical: right now “daily” builds can take more than a day, and the process works on full source jars rather than changed files in a release for each project, leading to a lot of unneeded overhead.
I will be putting out a build for 03/2023 and 06/2023 in July that I build manually using the old method, but then switch over before 09/2023 and try to align with SimRel for drivers from that point.
Regards,
Hi Claes,
I remember you well from many years ago - 2018 if I'm not mistaken. You had submitted changes to the Babel Messages editor.
Gerald is a new committer, and he's been working on the server-side, and producing the builds. I have no issues nominating you as a committer if he agrees.
@Gerald, would you like for me to kick-off the process?

I would like to contribute to the Babel Plugin project. However, since there are no active committers to the project it is hard. I made a similar attempt 2017 but lost interest for the same reason.
-There simply is not anyone that has time to do code review. Beyond that, the project is in really bad shape. I have it building on my computer but there are a lot of runtime issues.
We have used an internal version of the Message Editor at our company but we will need to enhance our NLS tooling soon and I plan to improve the Tapiji bundles to achieve that. I could continue
to work on our internal version but I rather do it on the Babel Plugins repository. Currently, I see no real way to do that though.
If possible, I would like to become a committer to the Babel Plugins project. I have been an Eclipse RCP developer since 2005 and I am also a committer to the Eclipse BIRT project. I do not have
much time to spare, but I should be able to get the project in a usable state at least.
Best regards
Claes Rosell
