If you like the plugin and you want to help us to improve it, there are many things that you can do to give us a well appreciated contribution.
If you’re not interested in writing code, you can give us feedbacks explaining your opinions and suggesting new features for JDEEP. You can leave a comment on our website, in the forum section, or even in the mailing list. If you find a bug, please tell us in the bug tracker section.
But we’re also looking for developers that would like to help us to improve the plugin. There’s a lot of work to do. Here it is a little TODO list with the main improvement (with higher priority) on which we’re working:
- A listener that catches the keyboard press, to be sure that a user’s really working on Eclipse;
- Implement a menù action that recall the stored data (using the XML reader) and that it shows the collected information to the user in a suitable way (we’re thinking about showing it on a jdeepView with a tree table, or, more interesting in a some kind of diagram)
- To develop the report of all the data, that it could be send on a remote database via FTP
- To make the plugin more robust and reliable;
- Any your suggestion…
