[GSoC 2015] Improve the Ceylon IDE

[Rumesh Eranga]

Hi,

I am Rumesh Eranga Hapuarachchi, final year undergraduate in BSc. Computer Science at University of Colombo School of Computing, Sri Lanka. I have a good knowledge in Java and I would like to contribute to this project.
I have successfully completed many projects in java which are related to desktop applications( projects are hosted in github[1] ). Previously I have contributed to ownCloud project[2], OpenSeedbox[3], Brackets[4] and few small level open source projects. While working on those projects I got to experience opensource software development. I am confident I can use my knowledge, experience and passion towards the project to successfully complete it. 

I have forked the project and now going through the code to  get a better understanding on the project. I'd like to know what are the improvements expected for this project as lot of improvements are listed in the issue list [5].

Hi,

Great to hear you want to help :)

I think the first step is for you to download the Ceylon sources and build it and be able to run a Ceylon IDE built from source. See "Building with Tycho/Maven 3" at https://github.com/ceylon/ceylon-ide-eclipse/

When you have that ready we can find you an easy issue to work on that should only take an hour to fix so you can see if you enjoy doing this sort of work :)

Don't hesitate to ask for help on IRC on #ceylonlang.

Cheers.

Make sure you can run the IDE from within Eclipse. That's the easiest
way to test your work.

Hi Gavin,

Thanks for the suggestions. I'd like to start with either of following.

https://github.com/ceylon/ceylon-ide-eclipse/issues/1127

https://github.com/ceylon/ceylon-ide-eclipse/issues/1136

#1127:

For this would following steps work?

a. Add a menu item named "Format all source files" for right click on node in Ceylon Explorer

b. for each children in node, perform following

      if the children is a Ceylon source file: Format the source

      else if the children is a directory: recursively do b.

      else : skip file. (node is neither directory nor a Ceylon source file)

 

#1136:

    #1135 contains useful info. I could go through the implementation and get a better understanding on how to join if statements.

Which one in your opinion suits me most?

Thanks,

Rumesh

Hi Gavin,

I'll proceed with the issue #1136. I think I am able to handle it.

[Rumesh Eranga]

Hi,

I started working in the issue #1136. I added a JointIfStatementProposal and added it into the CeylonCorrectionProcessor.

Now Join If Statements proposal appears under quick fixes if the given if statement can be joined. However I had some problems while joining the if statements and now I am trying to fix it.

Since the deadline for the GSoC proposal is on this Friday, I'd like to know the specific improvements on the IDE which are required for this GSoC so I could prepare my proposal.

Thanks,

Rumesh

Eeek, I didn't see this earlier, and I went ahead and implemented it myself (the issue was unassigned).

Sorry!!

That's fine Gavin. I had it half implemented. I'll move on to another one (And will make sure to assign it to myself) :)

Sorry, I feel bad. I should have paid better attention.
