Greetings folks!
I've been contacted by a CMU researcher who would like to interview
developers regarding dependency management.
The short version is this:
--
I'm collaborating with CMU colleagues on research about managing
change in an ecosystem context like Eclipse. We're looking to
interview Eclipse package or plugin developers who have had some
experience with maintaining packages where they've had to watch out
for changes in the packages they depend on, and/or had to be mindful
of changes that might affect packages dependent on them. They could
be working either on the Eclipse core packages, or on more
peripheral plugins. We're interested in knowing about their
strategies for keeping up with change and for managing the impact of
change on the users of the API they expose.
--
I've explained our project structure, the concept of +1, +2, ...
dependencies and general rules for mapping bundle ids to projects.
If you're interested in participating in the research, please
contact Chris Bogart directly.
