Hi All, |

GenEclipse is a plugin which helps you manipulate project's build path |
| 4 |
in Eclipse. The plugin can list all packages(containing jars) on your |
| 5 |
system (i.e. every package under /usr/share/package-name/) for you to |
| 6 |
choose, filter and select. The select ones can be imported into your |
| 7 |
project’s buildpath automatically. Then you can use the jars in your |
| 8 |
project just like they were added as “external archives” or “User |
| 9 |
Library” you may have done a lot. With this plugin, you no longer need |
| 10 |
to manually locate, which means boring path browsing job to get to the |
| 11 |
path where the jar resides, again and again for every jar you’d like to |
| 12 |
include in the build path. |

The last week I did the following things: |
| 16 |
1. preference page finished and tested. |
| 17 |
2. Exception Dialog implementation |
| 18 |
3. solved duplicity when user adds one package that is already in the |
| 19 |
classpath |
| 20 |
4. a lot of code clean-ups |
| 21 |
5. adds some docs for src |
| 22 |
6. update the update site |
| 23 |
7. wrote the user manual |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The state of this project is close to be finished and the plugin is |
| 26 |
ready for use. I've wrote the specific installation and usage |
| 27 |
instruction on my Gsoc blog: |

You can follow that to test and use the plugin and feedback is highly |
| 31 |
welcomed. I'll be very glad if this plugin can help in your development |
| 32 |
work in Eclipse. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
The last week of GSoc's plan is some small finishing up work(such as src |
| 35 |
code clean up , more code comments) and bug fix according to feedback. |

And Last but not least, I'd like to give my special thanks to Serkan for |
| 40 |
mentoring me. You helped me so much and I learned a lot including Python |
| 41 |
language, Eclipse's classpath containers and java-config. Thank Donnie |
| 42 |
,dol-sen and other people helped me in IRC channel. Also thank Google |
| 43 |
and Gentoo for giving me such a chance having a great experience of this |
| 44 |
Gsoc. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
I'll continue staying and maintaining the project after Gsoc. I also |
| 48 |
want to be a developer of Gentoo if I'm qualified. |
