Subject: Re: [groovy-eclipse-plugin-dev] Introducing Andrew Eisenberg
from the SpringSource Eclipse team
To: eclipse-plugin-dev@(protected)
Hi all,
Thanks for the warm introduction, Guillaume. I am very excited to
start working on this. I'll have lots of questions. Although I am
quite familiar with Eclipse, I am still a bit of a Groovy newbie.
Probably the thing for me to do at the start is to tackle a few Jira
bugs so that I can become more familiar with the codebase. Are there
any suggestions for good starting points? Or should I just choose a
few that seem interesting to me?
However, one of the things that will make the plugin much better is
ensuring that there is a groovy model that is compatible with
Eclipse's IJavaElement hierarchy. This is something that I have a lot
of experience with in AJDT and AspectJ. I can come up with a proposal
for this.
looking forward to starting on this and thanks in advance for your help,
--a
