Re: [Pydev-code] Quick Status Update

[Dana M. <dan...@ya...>]

Yeah, I see the offending line in the build.properties
I checked in a new one. 

After that, the Jython stuff should just build. There is not a need for
src. Don't know how it got into the build.properties. As a matter of
info, you can wrap any external lib as a Plugin (and you need to wrap
_every_ loadable jar as a Plugin) by simply providing it a plugin.xml,
see
http://owl-eclipse.projects.semwebcentral.org/CreateLibraryPlugin.html
for step by step.

After you check out the build.properties, you might want to 
open the plugin.xml and right click on the dependencies tab and say
recompute build path. This will mod the .project and the .classpath
files as well.

As far as what the inclusion of the jython stuff does, yo uwon't see
anything useful just yet. I put it there for infrastructure reasons.
What the new code _will_ do, once I get the troubling few issues
squared away will be to offer the same level of autocompletion as
jythonconsole does but whilst the file is being actively editted of
course.


No Problems with your leaving the project behind. 

When would you anticipate that you'd like to release 1.0?

If the timeline is reasonable and If I make sufficient progress with
the autocomplete stuff it can make it into 1.0.

As an aside, I just completed working on a semantic web language IDE
(SWeDE) based on Eclipse
(http://projects.semwebcentral.org/projects/owl-eclipse/), so I have
learnt a TON of Eclipse-ish stuff. Therefore, I feel in somewhat a
decent position to go forward and will make time to maintain and
support.


As far as new ideas go beyond 1.0, I have been thinking of additional
code helpers and generators, and perhaps hooking this into SWeDE (as a
side effort) so that Python is the natural choice for language when
working with the semantic web. I have listed that for the next SWeDE
development spiral, which is being funded as a part of a DARPA
programme.

I am also thinking about visual helpers for code generation and
property inspectors. I imagine there are many other things we might
toss into the mix, but I want to get some experience with using what we
have created in a programming - in - the - large (enterprise) setting
to see what I would like to have and what others may complain about.

I know that Bill (who has been busy also) has some additional
contributions he wanted to make, and he may comment separately.
