Dear all,
I have just released version 1.1.0 of the WebOfPatterns client for Eclipse.
This version contains several new collaborative features based on semantic
web technology: patterns can be discovered using search engines and
bookmarking services, patterns can be registered with those services, and
patterns can be rated using rules and explicit and harvested meta data.
Extensions can provide additional properties that can later be used to
reason about patterns.
These new features are provided through extensions (for the respective
Eclipse extension points defined in our plugin), with existing
implementations based on (the APIs of) blogger, del.icio.us, swoogle (a
semantic web search engine) and a new tailored wop server ("wopper").
Therefore, the wop client now consists of multiple plugins.
Now we need your help. If you have time, please download the software and
try out some of the collaborative features. E.g., try to discover patterns,
rate existing patterns or extract your own patterns from a Java project and
publish them. Your feedback is highly appreciated! If you discover bugs,
please post those on source forge and we will try to iron them out asap.
The software can be downloaded from here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104645
Platform: Java 1.5, Eclipse 3.1 or 3.2.
Kind regards, Jens
