[jdt-dev] Interested in helping a research study on Eclipse?

[Mohsen Vakilian <mvakili2@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I'm Mohsen, a PhD student working with Prof. Ralph Johnson at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). Together with my
team mates [1], we are conducting a research study to better
understand how developers, across different projects, interact with
the Eclipse IDE for evolving and maintaining their code. We are
extending this invitation to Java developers and would greatly
appreciate and value your participation and help in our research
study.

To participate you should be at least 18 years old and use the Eclipse
IDE for Java development. As a participant, we ask that you complete a
short survey and install our Eclipse plug-in called CodingSpectator
[2].

CodingSpectator monitors programming interactions non-intrusively in
the background and periodically uploads it to a secure server at UIUC.
To get a representative perspective of how you interact with Eclipse,
we would appreciate if you could install CodingSpectator for two
months. Rest assured that we are taking the utmost measures to protect
your privacy and confidentiality.

If you are interested, you may sign up at
<http://codingspectator.cs.illinois.edu/ConsentForm>, which contains
our consent form with all the details and procedures of our research
study.

Your participation will help us greatly as we try to better understand
how developers interact with their IDE's so we can propose
improvements which fit better with their mindsets.

Thanks in advance for your time! Please do not hesitate to contact me
(mvakili2@xxxxxxxxxxxx) if you have any questions or comments. More
information can also be found at our FAQ [3]. Feel free to forward
this invitation to anyone who might be interested in participating in
this study.
