RE: [eclipse-dev] Draft Eclipse Platform 3.3 plan is available

[<eclipse@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Two minor issues that I hope can be considered for 3.3:

 

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=6038 [scrapbook] Why we need files for scrapbook ?

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=106326 Add API to access registry on Windows (I'd generalize it

as converting more SWT native support to API).

Ok, I'd like to lobby to see these items added to the 3.3 plan:

 

1. Desktop integration:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=13221 ([EditorMgmt] [RCP] dragging an external file onto the editor area should open it)

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=60289 ([EditorMgmt] Launch Eclipse editor from outside Eclipse)

 

2. Scripting, macros, and automation:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=8519 (keystroke macros recording and playing capability)

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=35949 ([Commands] macros: Allow key bindings to execute multiple commands in series.)

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=36163 (Feature suggestion:  IDE/plugin scriptability through built-in _javascript_)

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=37680 (Add Eclipse automation)

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=37936 (Allow automation of common tasks)

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=112778 (Generic scripting capability)
