GSoC project idea looking for a mentor
by Jonathan Fuerth
Hi,
Wondering if anyone on the JBT team is interested in helping to fine-tune this idea and acting as a mentor for this year’s Summer of Code.
From the prospective GSoC student:
> Create Tattletale plugin for Eclipse
> Lot of tools have plugin for eclipse. (Findbugs, PMD...). Tattletale plugin for Eclipse does not exist, but this way it should be easier to use comparing to usage trough console . The basic implementation of this plugin could display standard Tattletale HTML report, but some sub reports like "Unused Jar" or "Multiple Jar files" could "mark" some referenced libraries displayed in the Eclipse controls and highlight them for removal.
I’ve been impressed with this student’s initiative so far, but unfortunately the original project he approached me about was already completed in last year’s round of GSoC.
I found GSoC mentorship to be a fun and rewarding process. It’s not too heavy on red tape, so most of the time you invest is actually spent helping with actual coding issues. There’s maybe 90 minutes of filling out forms over the whole 4 month term. Depending on the student, you might expect to spend 4-6 hours a week mentoring on the coding project itself: answering questions, offering pointers to good docs and tutorials, making sure they don’t stay stuck on one thing for a week, etc.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Playing with Tern
by Victor Rubezhny
Hi, guys!
While playing with Tern I was able to make a very simple plugin that
allows to show 'cordova' object and some of its members in Content Assist.
This is a very first and simple script that shows 'cordova' object and
its members in content assistant without requiring to have any kind of
cordova.js included to a project.
But it requires:
- to have Tern.java (updated with cordovajs.js plugin)
- to have Tern nature enabled on your project
- to have cordovajs plug-in enabled in project's Turn preferences.
You can look at the code changes in my branch on GitHub:
https://github.com/vrubezhny/tern.java/tree/cordovajs (currently it's
rebased over agelozerr's master)
There are no any special inference done due to get some objects/values
from the modules that are loaded by require/define functionality.
This probably will require more sophisticated coding to be done.
