Re: [vimplugin-devel] I Would Like to Help Out with Code Development

[David T. <dav...@gm...>]

Hi Robert,

Great to hear from you and sorry for the slow reply, we would love
more people of course. To be honest though the project isn't being
developed very actively. I myself don't have any time at the moment as
I am working full time and going to university part time. So if you do
decide to contribute, which would be great, you would be the primary
developer. We would still be able to offer any assistance you required
of course. Java isn't a complicated language so you should be fine,
the main difficulty with most languages is if you are also learning a
new paradigm as well but this doesn't apply to you. The code base
isn't that large, so I can't really suggest you focus on a particular
area, shouldn't take long to browse over all of it. The other
important area to look into is Vim's netbean protocol (so in vim :he
netbeans). Read that thoroughly as it explains how we are
communicating between vim and eclipse.

I am currently quite tied up with contract work, but I should be free to devote time to a software project starting in October. I would be more then happy to give 10-15 hours a week assisting were ever I can. I feel that if I am going to put my heart into something, it is better for it to be something everyone can benefit from.

I have learned a lot of languages. But I have never written any Java code (though I learned it well enough to become a Sun certified Java developer). I have been using Python (my current fav language) which has a similar object model, so I should be able to learn to think in Java quickly. I am well versed in C and C++.

I have lost count of the number of time I have compiled it for HP-UX. It is one of my MUST-HAVE applications. I have messed with Eclipse a little, but without VI, I find it too limited for real work. I have just downloaded eclim and will be playing with it sometime this week, if I get the time.
