[soc-dev] [gsoc] Rich Data Visualizat​ion (status)

[Akif NoName <akif8877@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

this is the weekly report or the GSoC project "Rich Data Visualization for Developer Statistics".

Project description: Developer Statistics is an incubator project of Eclipse Code Recommenders that

tracks how developers use their Eclipse IDE. If you ever wanted to find out how you use code completions

or what commands you use most often, Developer Statistics has the answer.

 

The goal of this project is to develop a rich visualization of the data collected,

to enable the developer to drill down and find out how to make more efficient use of the Eclipse IDE's features.

The already collected data could now be evaluated and displayed graphically in the form of diagrams.

 

What I have done this week:

To add BIRT charts in native SWT/JFace dialogs we have to extend our target platform.

This was successfully done in the Gerrit change 27174. It was not easy to find all the required features for this stuff.

Currently I have tried to modify the product file from dev-stats, which should contain all important features.

Tasks for the next week:

The next days I will implement a first BIRT Proof-of-Concept for a chart diagram.

With that Proof-of-Concept we will see how BIRT works.

Feedback:

If you want to install Developer Statistics, look at the update site [2].

Feedback would be really great, please comment on bug 431842 or contact me on the mailing list.

 

Regards,

Akif
