Re: Continue Eclipse Freemarker DLTK?

Hey Angelo,

I'm Greg Amerson from Liferay and I'm pleased to meet you online. :)

My team and I at Liferay are very interested in your DLTK based freemarker
editor and the improved debugging support via DBGP.  I am the project lead
of Liferay IDE<https://www.liferay.com/community/liferay-projects/liferay-ide/overview>(set
of OSS
eclipse plugins <https://github.com/liferay/liferay-ide> for Liferay-based
development) and as you have read Liferay makes heavy use of freemarker,
theme development, application display templates, workflow templates, etc,
etc.  I have even spent the last few weeks writing a debugger client for
freemarker in Liferay
IDE<https://github.com/gamerson/liferay-ide/tree/IDE-986a/common/plugins/com.liferay.ide.debug.core>to
hook into the existing RMI API (which
required a few changes to freemarker RMI
debugger<https://github.com/freemarker/freemarker/pull/5>).
 I'm sorry that I didn't stumble upon your DBGP work before as I was have
contacted you earlier. :)

So to answer 2 of your questions

1) I am extremely interested in your DLTK debugger.  I am interested to see
a new editor that advancing past the capabilities of the existing
Freemarker Editor created by Joe Hudson (now hosted at jbosstools).  I can
commit my own team's resources to testing, debugging and helping with bug
fixes for your new DLTK based editor.

3) DBGP Debugger
I am interested in advancing the features of freemarker debugger that move
beyond the current capabilities of RMI debugger to include, stepping,
evaluation, change-value.  If going with a brand new DBGP debugger is the
best way to go, then I'm willing to pitch in.  But if it would be faster to
just enhance/extend the RMI debugger, I'm interested in that as well
especially if that would allow us to ship something within a few months.

Once again its my pleasure to begin this discussion with you, hope to hear
from you soon!

Greg
