Re: Work starting on 1.3.0

I love it that this is getting a lot of activity now, the only thing I am
thinking is maybe a year is too long, what about bi-yearly releases. That
way people don't have to wait so long and grow tired.

Of course I will help where ever I can if it's not code I'm sure I can beta
test everything.

A new feature I would like to see is some phpdoc generation. I.e.

What PDT does (I think its PDT) if you have a function.

Public Function test($adas, array $asdasd) { }

Then after you create the function do /** up top of it, it will autogen as
much as it knows about that method.

Also I would like to get some form of WTP integration within PHPEclipse
because without that you can't really use a black background because you
can't change HTML Tag colours.

I added a ticket a while back about some more theming solutions maybe with a
theme manager, I would love to be a big part of this, not to mention it's a
good way to get more creative people involved aswell.

If there is any help you need edmann just give me a holla in the IRC
channel.

Subject: [PHPEclipse-devel] Work starting on 1.3.0

Everyone,

I am starting work on PHPEclipse 1.3.0. This is in the branches. My idea
is to work on bugs to get them fixed. If it will not break compatibility i
will back-port them to 1.2.x(trunk). I have decided to keep the work that
incastrix did in the 1.3.0 branch and merge the changes form trunk into
it. I expect it to take me some time, and i will probably miss a few, but
it will get done. I will work on focusing on the major issues first that
affect both 1.2.x and 1.3.x. However if all i do is hunt bugs, even tho i
like it, i may burn out and stop working, so i want to add some new
features. I would spread them out so it would work like this.

1. Fix bugs as many as i can while refactoring code.
2. got tired of fixing bugs add new feature.
3. goto 1;

The bugs are what need some attention, and are important. But the features
help make the project easier for people to use. Here are some features i
want to add.

1. Class/Interface wizard.
2. New Code format with features similar to the Java.
3. Work with someone else on PHPUnit support.

I am willing to (and will) work on other things, but i will focus mostly
on bugs and the few features i want to add. Granted someone else can add
the features. Also i want to know what else people would like to see in
PHPEclipse, so feedback is welcome.

Also i would like to set a realistic time frame on the 1.3.0 version. I
was going to give it 1 year, but i am welcome to other peoples input.
Granted if you think it should be shorter i expect to see code from you.
:-)

Thanks.
