Re: [eclipsecon-na-program-committee] VJET talk

["Ian Skerrett" <ian.skerrett@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think Andrew and Pascal have made some good points. The VJET talk should
be about getting users excited about using VJET. What use case(s) does VJET
really do well, ex. building node.js apps or mobile apps or ...  Focus on
how attendees can use VJET in these use cases.

As Pascal said, Justin does need to do a lot more work on the community
development side to show that VJET is real project. An EclipseCon
presentation is not sufficient. There needs to be community outreach during
the year. Being on the release train would definitely help.

For the abstract and talk, I'd recommend focusing on what you can do with
VJet that is difficult or impossible using similar tools. A direct
comparison isn't necessary, but I should walk away from the talk with an
idea of why I'd want to use VJet instead of, say, JSDT, Webstorm, or Orion.
Being able to develop Java in the same IDE is a clear advantage over
Webstorm and Orion. And enhanced type inferencing and other features would
make VJet a winner over JSDT.

However, it's also important to temper expectations. If features are only
partially implemented, haven't been field tested completely, or are not
fully integrated with the rest of the IDE, then that should be mentioned so
that users don't have any unpleasant surprises when they install.
