[gentoo-soc] Gentoo/Java IDE integration Weekly report #6

[Jiale Pan (Kyle Pan)]

Hi All,

Very, very sorry for reporting late this week.

------------------project introduction--------------------------------
The project includes an improvement to current java-config and a new
eclipse-plugin. The plug-in, which when clicked, lists system installed
java libraries for users to select and import into projects. This avoids
user manually browses and locates system installed libraries, making
developing more efficient and comfortable. The existing tool
java-config, with some necessary improvements, is chosen as the data
retrieval backend of this project. Jython is used to integrate
java-config to the plug-in.This project will mainly benefit developers
using eclipse, and due to planned work on improvements to java-config,
it will benefit java-config project and even non-developer gentoo users
as well.

----------------progress of this week --------------------------------
1. UI improvement: added 1)Include javadoc checkbox 2) include javasrc 
checkbox ,and 3) the filter text box.
2. implemented the filter functionality and let it work.
3. modified the query_pkg_path() in my java_config_2_api.py for calling 
in API
4. add getClassPaths() in Wrappers.java for getting jars' real path in 
the system
5. changed TableViewer to CheckboxTableViewer for user to multi-checks
6. succeeded populated the libs user selected to project's build path. 
(ie, when user click finish on the plugin page, the selected libs will 
be populated as external libs of the project and showed in the 
"Referenced Libraries" of the project in Package Explorer)



---------------next week's plans --------------------------------
1. try to implement "include javasrc if installed" and "include javadoc 
if installed" function
2. implement the preference page give the user option to manually config 
Jython Lib path and Python installed path
2. learn how to build plugin's update site and begin deploying
