Ec-CoFFEE

Ec-CoFFE plugin

This is the official homepage of the Ec-CoFFEE plugin. Ec-CoFFEE plug-in is a set of synchronous collaboration tools for Eclipse that is built on the top of the CoFFEE framework (www.sourceforge.org/projects/coffee-soft). The collaboration does not require a server, but (because of firewalls) is based on local area networks. Among the tools: threaded discussion tool, graphical tool, drawing tool, co-writer, internet explorer, document browser, CollabXMind, positionometer (votation tool), chat, ....

Ec-CoFFEE adds a new menu to the main menu bar, allowing the user (while using the traditional Eclipse functionalities to support the development of the software) to:

• Launch a Server or a Client (pre-requisite to begin with the collaboration),
• launch a tool (only the server can launch the tool),
• load a discussion previously saved,
• stop the Server/Client (when the collaboration is over).

When a tool is launched, it can be configured on-fly, by using the functionalities the tool itself exposes. A wide variety of different configurations can be obtained, such as anonimity of contributions, etc. for each tool.
