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 .

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.

I've demoed to Pascal and Paul some drafts I have on topics of "nested project" (equivalent usage to FileSystem centric view) and better import. The first one have a Gerrit patch pending, the second one is just a dummy menu with some interfaces but doesn't do much fancy stuff so far. I could show them to you as well later next week.

There is already an open source project that solves a similar issue - Aptana File Explorer.

I'm not sure if it is included into an Appcelerator project. Snjeza
