[nebula-dev] MapWidget contribution
|
Hi,
As Stepan Rutz already has explained, I suggested his MapWidget could be
a nice contribution to the Nebula project. I discovered the MapWidget
myself some weeks ago and quickly found it very useful (and of good
quality). In particular, I liked that it was clean, simple and
self-contained. Since then I have implemented a JFace viewer that
supports overlaying pins and selecting and moving them. During that
process, I had to make some changes to MapWidget to handle conflicts
with its panning support. I would like to contribute this and some other
features I am planning, like selecting a rectangle (e.g. to control
zoom). I'm also prepared to be an active maintainer.
My daily job is an Associate Professor at Dept. of Computer and
Information Science at the Norwegian Univ. of Science and Technology in
Trondheim, doing research on model-based methods in general and for
creating user interfaces in particular. My interest in the MapWidget was
triggered by research on tools for creating pervasive games, including
EMF models, Xtext-based DSLs and Eclipse views. I am already an Eclipse
committer, working mostly on smaller EMF enhancements like Javascript
integration and an EMF model of SWT for e4.
Regards,
Hallvard Trætteberg
