| Re: [ease-dev] [GSoC-2015]Help Hover Tooltips |
Hi Vidura, glad you are interested in the topic. The main idea is to improve scripting usability. We are providing libraries, called modules which provide scripting functionality to the user. To easily browse available methods, there exists a Modules Explorer view that lists all libraries along with their methods. Along with that we automatically create help pages for all modules by using a customized Javadoc doclet during our build. Deliverable 1 would be to create a tooltip for all elements of the modules explorer view that extracts relevant help topics from the online help and shows them in the same fashion as the tooltips for java methods which you are used to from the java help integration. Deliverable 2 should bring the same functionality to the _javascript_ editor, adding Javadoc comments to tooltips in the editor view. To address both topics, it would be helpful to create a generic approach to extract relevant help information and then reuse the extracted data to address both topics. To apply for this project it would be a good idea to check out the EASE sources and play around with it a bit to understand what EASE does. To make decisions easier on multiple applications for a topic, a small contribution to the project would be beneficial, as it shows that you made yourself familiar with the contribution process.

I'm very much interested in working with Eclipse EASE project in GSoC 2015. I am interested in project idea 'Help hover tooltips' and looking forward to contribute. I would like to know more details about this project idea and expected deliverables. Thank you. |
