I would like to put together a project plan for an MPC update as part of Kepler. FWIW, the Foundation has a *limited* budget to fund some feature development. I’d like to collect ideas for what people would like to see in a release.
As a starting point, the following bugs I’d like to see addressed:
337774 - We need to make it easier to install multiple plugins
382134 – MPC using wrong version of the platform
385936 – Proxy settings for multiple catalogs
323259 – Show star rating in MPC
395507 – Include HTML in summary description of listing
Some other things I’d like to see added:
- It would be nice to be able to specify which version of Eclipse each plugin support and based on the MPC only show the relevant plugins. This would require changes to Marketplace web site and MPC.
- I’d like the ability to add a new tab to MPC. Specifically, I’d like to have a tab that we use to communicate news to MPC users.
Let me know if you have other ideas or feedback on the above. My hope is to finalize a list before Christmas.
