| [wtp-dev] [JSDT] Contributing to the creation of a node.js / bower / npm tooling for Eclipse |
| Hi, I will start by presenting myself, my name is Stéphane Bégaudeau, I am working for Obeo and I am a contributor or leader in some projects of the Eclipse Foundation. I may have seen some of you during EclipseCon Europe 2014 this week while I was presenting a talk on web application development. I would like to contribute to the Eclipse JSDT project to improve the tooling for _javascript_ and front-end development. I am currently working on the integration of tools like npm, bower, node, gulp and grunt in the Eclipse IDE. You can find my code on Github, it’s still a work in progress with some experiments inside. When my code will be more stable and tested, I will try to contribute it using Gerrit. In the end, this tooling would include: - a launch configuration for node.js applications - a basic Java implementation of bower built on top of JGit and a Java implementation of node.js semantic versioning engine - actions dedicated to bower, npm, grunt and gulp - dedicated views to manage the dependencies of a node application or web application project (bower and nom dependencies) - some preferences pages - some wizards for _javascript_ and web applications (in order to make users follow some of the best practices available) - a builder that can be plugged to gulp or grunt I have attached a couple screenshots in order to show you what I had in mind or what I have already done. Regards, Stephane Bégaudeau, Obeo      |
