Eclipse XPS JUnit plug-in status update

I'm making good progress on the Eclipse XPS JUnit listener that that I started working on.

I'm no longer relying on Johannes Brodwall's executable to change the XPS LEDs. I'm calling his C code directly through JNI.

He was also kind enough to relicense his C function to the Apache 2.0 license. This allows me to open source my Eclipse plug-in using the Apache 2.0 license instead of the Creative Commons Attribution license (which is considered to be a bad choice for source code by most people, even by Creative Commons themselves).

I have already created a project at Google Code but I still have to do some cleanup of the source code before I do my initial checkin into the Subversion repository. Of course there are still a lot of other things to do before a first official release:

  • Testing on different versions of Eclipse
  • Create some Ant build script for binary releases
  • Write some basic documentation
  • Investigate how to set up an Eclipse update site in Google Code
  • Investigate how to promote a plug-in at Eclipse Plug-in Central
But I'm getting closer...
