Re: [stellation-res] Stellation GUI sound reasonable?

Good morning...
I have a question for ya'll. Or more closely an opinion gathering task.
Would a non-Eclipse gui be of any use to the Stellation project? I'm
referring to a tool similar to gCVS or WinCVS for those poor souls that
can't or won't use Eclipse. (Which, BTW, I still can't get the plugin 0.0.7
to work completely in M4 or M5, but I'll send another mail to the list later
on that one).
Randy, I'm sorry to have left you hanging. Please don't waste any more time
on the 0.0.7 plugin, it's not compatible with recent versions of the
Stellation
server code.
A version 0.0.8 plug-in will be posted shortly after another committer
approves the patch I posted on 11 February (Bugzilla # 31581).
This corrects a nasty configuration issue when using the Eclipse client
with a remote Stellation repository. (As an alternative, you could get
the current source from CVS, apply the patch yourself, and then build
the plug-in locally, but I realize that's a lot more work.)
The build-core.xml posted as Bugzilla #31589 is a good current method for
building and installing the Stellation server on a Linux system. It's also
pending
approval by another committer.
I have some further Eclipse client improvements ready to bundle as a patch, as
soon as the current patches have been approved, and more are in the pipe.
What I am talking about is a Swing based Java app that can be used in place
of the command line for those that are "command-line impared," yes, I
actually have quite a few of those working on my development teams. They
really do think Java code is only producable from inside an IDE. But, I
digress. If something like this were to be constructed, of course, it would
leverage as much of the existing plug-in code as possible to maintain re-use
aspects.
Any thoughts? Ideas? Comments?
If the idea is sound, I would be glad to start work on a prototype in my
non-work hours.
Sounds cool -- keep us posted.
It should go without saying that the list will be happy to answer any
questions that come up as you delve into the code and start working up
a design for your app.
Best regards,
Jim
