Interested in helping a research study on Eclipse?

[Mohsen Vakilian]

Hi

I'm Mohsen, a PhD student working with Prof. Ralph Johnson at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). Ralph is a co-
author of the seminal book on design patterns (GoF) and his research
group has a history of important contributions to IDE's.

Our team [1] is studying how developers interact with the Eclipse IDE
for evolving and maintaining their code. Since llvm4eclipescdt is
written in Java, we are inviting you and would greatly appreciate your
participation and help in our research study.

To participate you should be at least 18 years old and use Eclipse
Helios for Java development. As a participant, we ask that you
complete a short survey and install our Eclipse plug-in called
CodingSpectator [2].

CodingSpectator monitors programming interactions non-intrusively in
the background and periodically uploads it to a secure server at UIUC.
To get a representative perspective of how you interact with Eclipse,
we would appreciate if you could install CodingSpectator for two
months. Rest assured that we are taking the utmost measures to protect
your privacy and confidentiality.

If you are interested, you may sign up at <http://
codingspectator.cs.illinois.edu/ConsentForm>, which contains our
consent form with all the details and procedures of our research
study.

Your participation will help us greatly as we try to better understand
how developers interact with their IDE's so we can propose
improvements which fit better with their mindsets.

Thanks in advance for your time! Please do not hesitate to contact me
(mvak...@illinois.edu) if you have any questions or comments. More
information can also be found at our FAQ [3]. Feel free to forward
this invitation to anyone who might be interested in participating in
this study.

Hi,

We're happy to announce that CodingSpectator now supports Eclipse
Indigo (3.7) -- the latest version of Eclipse.

We are looking for more participants. Your participation in our study
will help to keep the Eclipse platform innovative. If you couldn't
participate in the study because you had to use Indigo, you can now
install CodingSpectator.

If you are interested, please sign up at
<http://codingspectator.cs.illinois.edu/ConsentForm> to participate in
our study.

We are thankful to those of you who have already participated in our study.

Regards,
Mohsen Vakilian
