"The Golo Programming Language" as Eclipse Help

[Jérémie Bresson]

The GoLo programming language was mentioned in the French podcast “LesCastCodeurs-Episode-126” and the fact that you are joining the Eclipse foundation catched my intention.

 

I have been working on the Eclipse Help recently. I have in particular worked on a conversion from the Asciidoc format to Eclipse Help using Asciidoctor and Mylyn-Wikitext. Reusing my setup I was able to generate “The Golo Programming Language” guide in the Eclipse Help format. Here a screenshot in a local info center:

 

 

Let me know if you are interested for GLDT.

I am interested in reinvesting my knowledge and in having a second use case for my setup (there is some refactoring work, before we can speak from reusable tools, but this is my final goal).

Hi,

Obviously Jeff is probably interested in that kind of contribution.

GLDT is not part of the new project at Eclipse, but obviously the fact that the main project has been transferred to the foundation raises the question of moving GLDT there as well.

Ihat is left to Jeff to decide, but I believe that we can pretty easily propose it as another incubating project, and/or see with the Foundation if we can have it as a sub-project as well.

Jérémie,

I would be interested but it should be fully automated in GLDT ie retrieving the files from the Golo repo and generating the files for Eclipse. Is this the way you process ?

There is no dependency between having an Eclipse Help Guide integrated in GLDT and being an Eclipse Project. Even if GLDT stays an independent project, I would be happy to contribute this.

 

The “eclipse project” vs “third party project” discussion is only relevant if you want to contribute something to the online info-center [1]. In this case the jar containing the help content should be built from a repository of an eclipse project (repository managed by the eclipse foundation).

In my opinion this makes only sense if you want to participate in the release train.

 

The goal setup for the “Asciidoc to Eclipse Help” converter is exactly as described by Jeff, it should be full automated, but I am not there yet… It took me 10 minutes to reuse my existing setup, but I think that it makes no sense to copy-paste it. Common parts should be mutualized between projects. I will try to work in this direction.

 

I will keep you posted.

Perhaps you should subscribe to https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/golo-dev :-)
