Re: [vjet-dev] Intested in joining Eclipse for GSoC 2013

Hi Catalin,

Great to hear from you. Thanks for reaching out! 

The purpose of this proposal is to create a complete NodeJS IDE with Eclipse to provide the best code assist, searching and validation that developers who are used to a static typing environment such as Java IDE can benefit from a high end development environment for developing _javascript_ applications. We want VJET to be best way to learn nodejs and use it while developing nodejs applications.

The IDE is written with Java and _javascript_. The primary language is Java and the type libraries are written with a _javascript_ library called vjojs (part of VJET project) 

The goals of the project are to:

1. Help test VJET core js support and nodejs support
2. Help test the updated nodejs library - find issues with it and learn how to triage these issues by taking live node js code examples and determining how to fix these. 
3. Lean how to author a type library which many can benefit from.
4. Learn about the VJET meta-type system and show this learning by proposing fixes to some VJET meta bugs.
5. Propose and implement extensions to the meta-type system for automatically recognizing user defined - nodejs modules.

We are in the process of updating our nodejs support, but we have some support today. Related to bug


Today's nodejs support I recommend that you try out...

Here is a quick view of the support:


The type library we have is located here: (currently based on 0.4 version of nodejs)



Thanks,

Justin

Hello everyone!

My name is Catalin Ramascanu and I am interested in joining Eclipse for this years edition of Google Summer of Code. I am a second year student at the Faculty of Automatics and Computer Science from Bucharest, Romania and I would like to help in testing and improving the VJET's NodeJS Support. I would like to know more information regarding this idea and if there is something I can do in order to better understand the purpose of this proposal. I am also curious about what programming languages is needed to know in order to complete this task. This idea caught my attention because ,besides being familiar with C and Java , I also know _javascript_ and Node.js.

Thank you very much for your time!
