Cool. I'm still contemplating the way
forward. I think the experiment with Andmore2 has been a
good success. Gradle integration isn't that hard and I
think we can move towards interfacing to the command
line tools for at least build and launch features, maybe
more, to reduce our dependencies on the external jars.
Since the amount of code I have is pretty small, I
think I can bring that back into Andmore1 and clean up
whatever duplication we have. Ideally, we support
multiple build systems, including the existing
craziness and add in gradle and enable maven. I'll be
restructuring the New wizards to make that more
flexible, and to add in more templates to match what
you get with Studio.
As I mentioned to everyone I talked to about it
here at EclipseCon, having Android tooling is
incredibly important to the reputation and prestige of
Eclipse. I don't think I can get work time for this,
yet, but I will continue to plug away at it with my
other personal open source work and keep the momentum
going as much as I can.
Doug.
