Re: [e4-dev] Sandbox for Eclipse proposal as E4 sub-project
|
Thanks Carsten for this effort. Improving the UI experience in the
Eclipse IDE is an important topic for the Eclipse IDE users.
+1 for moving the project to e4 from me

We've discussed the project from early on with Lars. He suggested to make it a part of the e4 project, since it mostly touches on core Eclipse IDE aspects, and the incubator would give us the necessary flexibility for its further development.

Essentially, we stripped down the Eclipse IDE to the barest minimal text editor, with the goal to build a lean code editor product from the ground up, focusing strongly on good UX and using (mostly) existing Eclipse technology. Our plan is to extend this Sandbox Eclipse step by step, driven by user feedback as well as analysis of popular light-weight editors like Atom, Notepad++ or vs.code. Every change is to be driven by centering on the best possible user experience, and the intention of the project is to be able to roll out UX concepts and experiments and get feedback quickly.

Right now, the - quite limited - text editor on GitHub is just a starting point that's mostly of interest for potential contributors, but over time, this should develop into an actual useful, lean editor in the vein of Atom or Notepad++ (actually, that's a quite crucial part in order to elicit good feedback from end-users).
