[gentoo-soc] Gentoo/Java integration Project Weekly report #4

[Jiale Pan (Kyle Pan)]

Hello everyone,

The 4th weekly report of project:



------------------project introduction--------------------------------
The project includes an improvement to current java-config and a new
eclipse-plugin. The plug-in, which when clicked, lists system installed
java libraries for users to select and import into projects. This avoids
user manually browses and locates system installed libraries, making
developing more efficient and comfortable. The existing tool
java-config, with some necessary improvements, is chosen as the data
retrieval backend of this project. Jython is used to integrate
java-config to the plug-in.This project will mainly benefit developers
using eclipse, and due to planned work on improvements to java-config,
it will benefit java-config project and even non-developer gentoo users
as well.

----------------progress of this week --------------------------------

1. Modified all the exception handling code in java-config according to
Neurogeek's workarounds. Having consulted Jython Community about their
Jython 2.6 plans and after discussed with Serkan, made the decision that
I have to use  workarounds for Jython 2.6 and 3.1 compatibility, for
Jython community did not give specific plans.
2. Merged my GenEclipse to PDE project
3. Plugin development work: read a lot of docs and Added the property
Page for my plugin to project's "Properies"
4. Added the preference page for my plugin in eclipse's "Preference",
and finished the preference page's UI.


------------Plans for next week -------------------------------------
The progress is on Plan. So next week's work is detailed plugin UI
implementation (especially for Property Page's UI).
