Re: [dash-dev] Archive the Eclipse Monkey component
|
I'm coming very late to the party, but I would hate to see Eclipse
Monkey die. I in fact just wrote an article about it, hoping to
introduce it to a brand new audience - IBM midrange programmers using
the IBM Rational tools.
http://www.mcpressonline.com/websphere/wdsc/introducing-eclipse-monkey.html
I've even written a class or two that helps me make better use of
Eclipse Monkey. While I don't have any great amounts of time to
contribute, I'd like to try to do whatever I can to help the project
continue. For me, having a JavaScript-based scripting language that I
can use to make my RPG programming easier is worth the time. My wife
might disagree, of course...
I need to spend some time with Groovy Monkey to see what I need to do to
get up to speed. I'm not clear whether folding into the Groovy Monkey
project will make the JavaScript support go away; I hope not. I'm not
sure I'm ready to learn another syntax, but what the heck, I'm learning
EGL - why not Groovy!

I would be happy to migrate my groovy monkey tool into Eclipse Monkey,
since the whole project appears to be moribund. There are alot more
features I want to add and would love the opportunity to distribute
that work to the most people possible.
I know that I was made a member back about a year ago and due to
personal circumstances, I was not able to follow up and now my
membership seems kinda dead.
I would love it if some ppl took a look at groovy monkey (
http://groovy-monkey.sourceforge.net/update
http://groovy.codehaus.org/Groovy+Monkey ) and see if that is the way
that they would like this project to go.
Thanks,
James

Dash Developers,
The Eclipse Monkey component of the Dash project has had no
development in a year now and no significant development is longer
than that. (see the dashboard
http://dash.eclipse.org/dash/commits/web-app/summary.cgi?company=y&month=x&top=technology&project=technology.dash
<http://dash.eclipse.org/dash/commits/web-app/summary.cgi?company=y&month=x&top=technology&project=technology.dash>).
The Eclipse Monkey bugzilla has had 49 bugs in the last 16 months
with 22 resolved. Of those, most are about the Monkey website
itself, i.e., only ~6 fixed bugs in the last 16 months and none at
all since last June/July. In other words, this component appears
to be dead.
Unless someone leaps into the fray to resurrect this project, I
plan to archive it (move the source code and downloads to the
archive, remove all the committers, update the web pages to point
to the archive) on or shortly after May 15th.
