Google Summer of Code 2008 Ideas
- Be creative
- Be specific: what do you want to be implemented
- If you are willing to mentors those ideas, add your name and email to the idea.
- It is ok to have a project idea without parent project
- If you're an interested student, add your name and email next to the idea. It is ok to have several students interested by one idea.
Title | Project | Abstract - links to details/bugs/etc | Reporter | Possible mentor(s) | Comments | Potential student(s) |
Enhance Babel Translation Server Functionality | Babel | The Babel project provides a set of tools to make the job of globalizing Eclipse projects easier. We also have a translation server setup for people world wide, who are interested, to contribute translations in their language of choice. Babel is still in its initial stage. We need a lot of help providing functionality to the project. Enhancements may include: a voting mechanism for the translation server bug 209687, process Subversion hosted map files bug 217196, switching among translated/untranslated/all strings bug 217228, allow bookmarking file/string/translation bug 221420, interface to mark a string non-translatable bug 221970, API for translation server bug 223036, provide pseudo translation language packs bug 217339, integrate spell checking into translation server bug 221282, provide a dictionary of translations bug 217260. | Kit Lo | Denis Roy, Gabe O'Brien, Kit Lo | Knowledge of PHP and SQL will be helpful. | |
Support for user-defined refactorings in JDT | JDT | The idea is to produce a pattern language, rules engine, and user interface to allow the Java developer to perform queries n and make safe modifications of their code code. It's a superset of the current refactoring because ideally current refactorings could be expressed this new system, forming a nice set of initial examples. he users could then adapt those rules to their own purposes or come up with completely new ones. See bug 144642 for more informations. | Ed Burnette | Martin Aeschlimann(?) | |
Continuous JUnit integration | JDT | Running a specific set of JUnit sets in the background while editing Java source code would help to detect defects early. The concept is to provide unobstrusive early detection and reporting of changes to source code that negatively affect its agreed upon functionality. Detecting failing tests would mark the changed source code with annotations to see which changes affected the green bar. There are already some (forgotten) bugs: bug 12167 and bug 51292. | Benjamin Muskalla | Markus Kuppe | PAG | Sam Ryan, Victoria University Wellington New Zealand. Andrew Murray, Queen's University |
toString generation | JDT | Like the setter/getter, equals and hashcode generator, it would be nice to have a little helper to generate toString methods. See bug bug 26070 and take a look at this plugin for some ideas. | Benjamin Muskalla | Markus Kuppe | JUtils | Michelangelo De Simone, University of Salerno - Italy. Michael Diamond, Dartmouth College. Sam Ryan, Victoria University Wellington New Zealand. Andrew Murray, Queen's University. Filippo Bollini, Politecnico di Milano, Italy. Claude Ramseyer - Universite de Montpellier 2 - France, Ahmed Adan - Carleton University |
JDT and Google Code Search service | JDT | JDT and Google Code Search service integration: a)During debug under JDT source code are often unavailable. Google Code Search Source Provider should provide source code for corresponding class. b)Integrate common JDT search possibilities (for example "Search\References") with Google Code Search Service (Search not under local projects but in Web too). | Andrey Vakunov | Michelangelo De Simone, University of Salerno - Italy. Andrey Vakunov, Grodno State University | ||
JDT Debugger Extensibility | JDT Debug | The JDT debugger provides debugging services and works with any JDPA-compliant JVM. The debugger has greatly matured over the years. Debugging facilities in general have not advanced much, however. Many in the research community would like to extend the capabilities of the JDT debugger without losing (or re-writing) existing functionality. Doing so often requires customizing how the JDT debugger makes use of the Java Debug Interface (JDI). This project would open up the JDI portion of the debugger in such a way that extensibility can be accomplished in a safe manner. | Jeffrey Czyz | Jeffrey Czyz, University at Buffalo | ||
Implement a search mechanism for BPMN diagrams | BPMN | Research indexing of domain specific models persisted in an XML format. Apply this research to indexing and searching BPMN diagrams. | Antoine Toulme | Antoine Toulme, Hugues Malphettes | ||
Improve the usability of the BPMN editor | BPMN | Gather feedback from users of the modeler. Select enhancements to support and develop them. | Antoine Toulme | Antoine Toulme, Hugues Malphettes | Xia Yehan,Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications,China | |
BPMN/BPEL to SCA model transformations for STP | STP | This project will leverage and extend the existing STP Intermediate Model (STP-IM) in order to provide better support for transformations between process editors (BPMN and BPEL) and architecture editors (SCA in particular, potentially EID as well). The contribution would be of great importance to SOA developers and would therefore be an important incentive for the community adoption of the Eclipse STP. | Juan Cadavid | Adrian Mos | Juan Cadavid, Universidad EAFIT, Medellín Colombia. | |
DITA or DocBook Help Content Producer | User Assistance | Eclipse User Assistance allows for help content to be dynamically produced. Traditionally, all Eclipse content came in the form of hand-written HTML files. This is so 90's, we should have help content producers to produce help content from DITA or DocBook files. | Chris Aniszczyk, Chris Goldthorpe(?) | Chris Aniszczyk, Chris Goldthorpe, David Carver | Zhiyang Jiang,Chinese Academy of Sciences and Annie Lo, Simon Fraser University (Canada) | |
GraphicsZilla | Phoenix | Eclipse uses Bugzilla in many interesting ways. It uses it in the normal fashion for bug tracking. It also uses a modified version for IP tracking (IPZilla). This proposal is to create a GraphicsZilla to help streamline icon and graphics creation in Eclipse. This would allow not only programmers to contribute their talents to Eclipse. This would also make the process of where icons come from more transparent. See this blog post and bug for more info. Note, this would also provide a viewable repository of all the graphics used in Eclipse... which is currently lacking now. | Chris Aniszczyk | Chris Aniszczyk | Goran Lochert, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing | |
PDE fetch script factory for SVN | pde | So far Eclipse only support CVS in a map file build. Though there exists an SVN impl, it's not EPL | Markus Kuppe | If nobody from PDE: Markus Kuppe | SVN impl | |
PDE Ménage à trois: Scala and Java | PDE | There are some crazy people out there developing Eclipse plug-ins using languages other than Java (how dare they ;p!). Scala is one of these popular languages and there already has been some Eclipse integration to make this happen. However, PDE suffers from limitations that strictly binds itself to Java... the goal of this project would be to analyze these PDE limitations... and come up with patches or prototyped code to let PDE play better with Scala and other languages. | Chris Aniszczyk, Neil Bartlett (?) | Chris Aniszczyk | Moises Osorio, Instituto Tecnologico de Culiacan, Culiacan Mexico. firstname.lastname@example.com | |
Declarative Services (DS) Tooling | PDE | Equinox finally has a stable implementation of the Declarative Services specification from OSGi. It's time to tool this beast. Any takers? | Chris Aniszczyk | Chris Aniszczyk | Bartosz Michalik, Poznan University of Technology - Poland. Rafael Oliveira Nóbrega, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco - Brazil | |
PDE and JavaScript | PDE | PDE allows you to create plug-ins using Java these days. This request is simply for a student to explore the realm of creating plug-ins using JavaScript or other languages. To start simple, I'd start with adding a new schema attribute of type "javascript" to allow plug-in authors to at least plug different languages in. From there, we can explore ideas on "how would you define a view" in such a way that you could take javascript or java code? | Chris Aniszczyk | Chris Aniszczyk | ||
PDE and Equinox Transforms | PDE | Equinox has a new component called transforms that allows you to transform various aspects of a plug-in during runtime. For example, a common use case is to write a transform that modifies some plugin.xml entries to not display certain menu items. This project aims to provide tooling for the transforms component so plugin authors can easily author transforms. | Chris Aniszczyk | Chris Aniszczyk | Bartosz Michalik, Poznan University of Technology - Poland | |
XpandDoc documentation generator | M2T/Xpand | Xpand is a template language which allows users to comment their templates with a JavaDoc-like syntax. So far, there is no tooling that can use this documentation. The goals of the project are to (1) create an engine that can parse Xpand template comments, (2) create a commandline tool that can generate a JavaDoc-like HTML output for all template comments in a project, and (3) enhance the Xpand text editor to show template comments in a tooltip when hovering over the respective template invocation. | Peter Friese | Peter Friese | ||
Refactorings for Xpand / Xtend / Check | M2T/Xpand | Xpand, Xtend and Check are languages for writing code generators. As your code generator grows, you'll feel the desire to restructure your code generator templates. Currently, no refactoring support is available for Xpand / Xtend / Check. We're looking for a brave student willing to fill this void. | Peter Friese | Peter Friese | ||
Improving the TCP/IP Monitor Plugin | WTP_Server_Tools | The TCP/IP Monitor plugin available with the Eclipse WTP could use some improvement in several areas. A few suggestions are XML prettyfying, switchable layouts, persistable message logs, tabs for concurrent listeners, proxy mode, HTTP proxy support, simulation of slow connections, documentation and overall UI and usability improvement. IMHO, such additions, alongwith other requirements expressed by developers for this plugin, would make it more popular among the Eclipse Web developer community. | Suran Jayathilaka | Suran Jayathilaka, University Of Colombo School Of Computing - Sri lanka

Generic unit testing support | DLTK? | JUnit is well integrated at the moment used to test java code. As there are many other projects which need to implement other testing tools, we should be a generalized form of the Junit framework as provide some extension points to build the implementations of other XUnit frameworks on top of it. See bug 180884 for more informations. | Benjamin Muskalla | |||
Web-CAT Eclipse plugin | Web-CAT | Web-CAT is a plug-in-based web application that supports electronic submission and automated grading of programming assignments that is presently used by over 30 universities and colleges in the United States and elsewhere. The Web-CAT Grader supports traditional models of automated program grading, and also supports grading of assignments where students do their own testing. Web-CAT is already supported by an Eclipse plugin that allows students to view graders' comments on their assignments directly within the IDE. The aim of this project is to provide support for the graders as well, i.e., to allow professors, teaching assistants, and students to mark up code with comments, assign grades (both freeform and from rubrics), and so on. This will not only make grading easier, but will also help turn Eclipse into a student-friendly code review tool, which we hope will encourage wider use of code reviews in teaching. | Jason Montojo | Jason Montojo, Greg Wilson | Qi Yang, University of Toronto - Canada | |
Feature Diagram plugin | Feature Diagram Prototype | "Feature diagrams" are a graphical notation for describing the relationships between class elements that first appeared in Michael Feathers' book "Working Effectively with Legacy Code". A prototype plugin for Eclipse that automatically produces feature diagrams, and allows users to modify their layout, now exists. The aim of this project is to connect that plugin to Eclipse's Java refactorings to allow drag-and-drop manipulation of the visual representations of fields and methods. | Greg Wilson | Greg Wilson | ||
XQuery Syntax Editor | XSL Tooling / Web Tools Incubator | Provide basic support for XQuery syntax editing. Including coloring, validation, content assistance, possibly provide extensions for allowing the selection of which xquery editors can be used for validation. Preference pages for controling XQuery specificat options for generating output. Possible future ability to include debugging support. | David Carver | David Carver | Buddhika Laknath, University of Moratuwa - Sri Lanka. Filippo Bollini, Politecnico di Milano, Italy. | |
Eclipse single instance | platform | More and more applications are eclipse RCP based applications. This is great but each application launch a JVM and load in memory quite often the same plug-ins. Like xul runner for mozilla, it would be interesting to have an "Eclipse runner". Issues to work on are how to manage several platforms (3.1, 3.2, 3.3, etc..) and share plug-ins (in memory). update : the problem seems to be adressed with p2 provided in eclipse 3.4 M6 | Mariot Chauvin | Someone from platform project | ||
BIRT JPA or JDO Connector | birt | A data connector for BIRT Reports that allows BIRT to easily access data via JPA or JDO. | Markus Kuppe | The BIRT Project Team - Jason Weathersby | In GSoC '07 the BIRT team was willing to mentor | |
BIRT Reports and Connectors for Ad Revenue | birt | This one is very business focused -- provide connectors and reports that allow Google customers and users to build their own reports on their Google Ad Revenue etc. | Kevin Peters | The BIRT Project Team - Jason Weathersby | In GSoC '07 the BIRT team was willing to mentor | Kevin Peters, University of Kansas |
Barcode Support | birt | See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=149928 for additional details. | Kevin Peters | The BIRT Project Team - Jason Weathersby | Kevin Peters, University of Kansas | |
JET Transforms/Wizards for creating project meta | Modeling Releng? Nexus? | Starting a new project requires a lot of duplicative code & metadata: .doc plugins/features, .examples plugins/features, .test examples/features, .sdk feature, .releng project. Being able to generate this from JET templates via a wizard would make it much easier to get a project up and running -- and then get a PDE build that much easier, too. | Nick Boldt | Nick Boldt | Michael Robb, Mount Royal College, Ke Qiang Zhao, Tsinghua University | |
Rich text editing and wiki integration | Mylyn | Provide wiki integration. This involves providing mechanisms for rich editing and viewing of task repository comments in wiki format, potentially adding wiki editing. see also More ideas for Mylyn projects | Steffen Pingel | Steffen Pingel | There are at least two projects already providing wiki editing in Eclipse, albeit without Mylyn integration: Wikipedia Editor, Wiki Editor. </User:nickb> | Jingwen 'Owen' Ou, The University of British Columbia, Proposal |
Java based Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) generator for Ada Programs | Hibachi | An Abstract Syntax Tree is the base framework for many powerful tools of a language IDE. For Hibachi, the Ada Development Toolkit project (like JDT or CDT), the presence of an AST would allow many more powerful IDE features, and improve those already in place (like refactoring, code folding, reformating). | Tom Grosman | Tom Grosman, Adam Haselhuhn | For a good idea about ASTs in Eclipse, see JDT AST | James Soh, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
Bartosz Lipinski, Warsaw Military University of Technology, Poland |
Feature implementation for Ada Development Toolkit | Hibachi | Implementation of new or extension of existing Hibachi funtionality. Depending on student interest and background, features may include but are not limited to code folding, Ada body generation, object tooltips display, dependency graphs and trees, code fixing, etc. | Tom Grosman | Tom Grosman, Adam Haselhuhn | James Soh, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore | |
XML+CSS = IFigure | GEF/Draw2d | Adding possibility to generate draw2d figures from XML and CSS descriptors (for example HTML subset and CSS). | Andrey Vakunov | Anthony Hunter | Andrey Vakunov, Grodno State University | |
Equinox Console and script language integration | Equinox | Integrate any script language (Groovy or JRuby or Bash :-) ) in OSGi console. Add possibilities to write in OSGi console "s grep <my-service-name>" | Andrey Vakunov | Andrey Vakunov, Grodno State University | ||
Buddy list for task assignments and CCs | Mylyn | Enhance Mylyn's Rich Client Bugzilla to have an address book for CC's | Jingwen 'Owen' Ou | Normally people work on projects with similar teammates and it would be nice to use previous queries to propose CCs. Details in bug 152415 | Jingwen 'Owen' Ou, The University of British Columbia | |
Enhanced Eclipse search | platform | Eclipse search plugin: provide an enhanced Eclipse search: better, faster, more relevant. Think Lucene or opengrok inside Eclipse. | Philippe Ombredanne | Philippe Ombredanne | Jeffrey Czyz, University at Buffalo. Çağatay Çallı, Middle East Technical University - Turkey. Suran Jayathilaka, University Of Colombo School Of Computing - Sri lanka | |
Eclipse-Moodle integration | The idea of this project is to provide an Eclipse plugin for the Moodle CMS e-learning system. This tool will enable students participating in online courses to import and export resources (projects or other materials) directly from an Eclipse workspace. Integration with Mylyn (for managing tasks assigned in such courses) could be an additional feature. | Aleksandra Woźniak | Aleksandra Woźniak, Poznan University of Technology & Adam Mickiewicz University - Poznan, Poland | |||
Use case editor | ORMF? | Use case editor: for writing use cases in a textual form, managing sets of use cases and (maybe) generating UML diagrams as well as html and pdf files from them. | Aleksandra Woźniak | Aleksandra Woźniak, Poznan University of Technology & Adam Mickiewicz University - Poznan, Poland | ||
Lazy development: generating functional tests from use cases, a proof of concept | ORMF | The availability of use case documents that are structured in nature opens up vast horizons of possibilities for automation of time consuming tasks. One of these is the generation of test scenarios and test cases for functional testing directly from the use case flows descriptions. This is a fantastic idea not only for its potential in the time it would save, but also (and especially) because the generated tests would be guaranteed to represent the functional requirements expressed in the use case. This project is a concrete exploration of this fascinating idea. You will take our current ideas on the subject and will find interesting ways to create test scenario matrices and, from these, individual test cases, with their associated data, conditions and verification points. The technologies that will be brought to bear include XML Schema, UML, BIRT, Eclipse SWT and JFace. | Barbara Rosi-Schwartz | Barbara Rosi-Schwartz, Joel Rosi-Schwartz | ||
The use case puzzle complete: generating control artifacts from a use case mode | ORMF | We are personally using ORMF and Useme in our daily work and are drawing great pleasure from it, because it increases our productivity and it ensures that our use case model is valid and correct. However, whenever we want to see the big picture, either to get an overview of the requirements space or for management purposes, we find ourselves having to build by hand various types of control artifacts, such as use case lists, use case traceability matrices and dependency trees. Once created, these artifacts have to then be maintained up to date as the use case model evolves and changes. This task is tedious and time consuming at best and quite error prone at worst.This project is about the automatic and dynamic generation of such control artifacts from the use case model. You will extract the relevant information from the model stored in the database, create the appropriate reports and visualize them within Eclipse views. The lists and tables presented in these views will be customizable through sorting and filtering, to enable the user to extract all the information she requires at any given point in time. BIRT will be the tool of choice for this work. | Barbara Rosi-Schwartz | Barbara Rosi-Schwartz, Joel Rosi-Schwartz | ||
Flow Visualisation: Generating activity diagrams from use cases | ORMF | ORMF provides structured use case definitions (documents) that are validated against an XML schema. One of the most desirable new features is to be able to dynamically generate UML Activity diagrams from the use case flows. The technologies that will be brought to bear include XML Schema, UML, Eclipse GMF and Eclipse EMF | Joel Rosi-Schwartz | Barbara Rosi-Schwartz, Joel Rosi-Schwartz | ||
Filling up the corners: implementing the supportive document editor types | ORMF | There are number of "helper" document types that are core to the ORMF vision. I use the word "helper" because these types tend to be referred to by all other document types. The document types of interest are Glossary, Issues, NFR, Risks, and Assumptions. The students project would encompass creating the XML schema and structured editors for these types. The skills used would be XML Schema, Eclipse SWT and JFace, Eclipse GMF and Eclipse EMF. | Joel Rosi-Schwartz | Barbara Rosi-Schwartz, Joel Rosi-Schwartz | ||
Augment p2 dependencies | p2 | In its first release, p2 limited its expression of dependencies to something equivalent to what most other package management system proposed (A package can say that it requires or conflicts with others). However several provisioning scenarios could benefit from more powerful inter-package dependencies (e.g, when mylyn and SVN are installed, install the connector). The goal of this project is to advance p2 by providing more powerful inter-package dependencies (and their mapping to the PB solver). Directions are: * more complex implications, * mapping filters into the solver, * expressing generic capabilities / dependencies (e.g. putting requirements on memory size, hard drive size, etc), * representing affinities between packages (see the OSGi notion of uses clauses) , * finding a way to automatically pick the most applicable line-up / recommendations | Pascal Rapicault, Daniel Le Berre | |||
Transformation from CIM to PIM | This project aims to create a module for additional Omondo, allowing transformations from computation independent model (CIM) represented by activity diagram,to a platform independent model (PIM) represented by class diagram and use cases, based in model driven architecture (MDA) and UML. The project (paper) was submitted to eclipsecon 2008. | Ernesto Suarez Lopez | Ke Qiang Zhao, Tsinghua University | |||
Custom menu positioning for Eclipse Monkey scripts | Dash | Eclipse Monkey scripts must currently reside under the Scripts menu, which doesn't integrate them well with existing functionality. When customizing a perspective, make it possible to add Monkey scripts to any menu (on the menu bar) that the user decides, both using specifiers in the script and through the UI. | Nitin Dahyabhai | |||
Customizable display of objects in CDT debugger | CDT | Variables view of CDT debugger currently displays object variables as trees with each data member represented by a separate node. Some types, like std::string, have a complex internal structure, but a simple meaning. Having to open multiple levels of node hierarchy to see the contents of a string is very annoying. In most cases user does not care about all details of the string object and just wants to see the contents of the string. This problem can be solved by supporting user-defined auto expansion rules defining display formats for commonly used types. See bug 155331 for more information. | Sergey Prigogin | Sergey Prigogin | ||
CDT Windows Debugger | CDT | The CDT provides a front end to many debuggers in order to unify the debug UI around the Debug Platform augmented by a number of C/C++ specific debug views. We currently support the GNU debugger on Windows in parallel with build support for the GCC tool chain. We'd also like to support integration with the Windows SDK. We have Visual C++ build support. This project would be to add in Windows Debugger support. | Doug Schaefer | Doug Schaefer | ||
ECF and Yahoo | ECF | Implement a EPL'd version of the Yahoo messaging protocol and than code an ECF provider implementation for that. The baseline goal of this project is to just implement messanging for Yahoo... things like file transfer can come later or if there's time. | Chris Aniszczyk | Chris Aniszczyk | Michael Berry, University of Kent, Canterbury, UK. | |
AIM Provider | ECF | ECF allows messaging protocols to be plugged in as providers. AIM isn't currently supported. The student can choose to implement the AIM (OSCAR) protocol themselves, or wrap an existing Java library like JOscar. | Chris Aniszczyk, Remy Suen | Chris Aniszczyk, Remy Suen | Michael Berry, University of Kent, Canterbury, UK. Çağatay Çallı, Middle East Technical University - Turkey. Tharindu Mathew, University of Moratuwa Sri Lanka | |
IM for Eclipse | ECF | Developers work in project teams, and team members need to communicate. An IM program integrated into Eclipse itself will be useful for this, that's optimized to transfer large amounts of code which usual IM programs limit and also allows developers to be grouped accordingly. | Tharindu Mathew | Mustafa K. Isik | I think it's worth to take a look at the ECF project. Most of the features are already available there. This project might be re-targeted to provide for better UI integration of/exemplary apps for existing ECF functionality. | Michael Berry, University of Kent, Canterbury, UK. Michelangelo De Simone, University of Salerno - Italy. Michael Diamond, Dartmouth College. Sam Ryan, Victoria University Wellington New Zealand
Mei Ma, University of Melbourne, Australia, |
Remote Service Deployment Tool | ECF | Take the R-OSGi Deployment Tool idea (paper) and the prototype and port it to a new platform (PDE projects, ECF remote services, p2 for deployment) so that it can be easily used within Eclipse to deploy a distributed OSGi application. | Jan S. Rellermeyer | Jan S. Rellermeyer | ||
VNC over ECF | ECF | Virtual Network Console is a popular screen sharing technology. It would be useful to have an implementation of VNC protocol for ECF. See mailing list entry by Marek Zawirski for a more detailed description of idea. | Scott Lewis | Scott Lewis, Remy Suen, Chris Aniszczyk, Markus Kuppe | ||
Google Calendar access using ECF | ECF | Google Calendar is a popular and open calendaring system. It would be useful to have an integrated ECF-based calendar for Eclipse. See mailing list entry by Marek Zawirski for a more detailed description of idea. | Scott Lewis | Scott Lewis, Remy Suen, Chris Aniszczyk, Markus Kuppe, Mustafa K. Isik | Gu Qiang, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China | |
SIP VoIP implementation for ECF | ECF | SIP is a popular signaling protocol, widely used for setting up VoIP calls with 2 or more participiants. This project aims to create working SIP/VoIP implementation, that will provide ECF Call API. Implementation should allow VoIP calls using SIP from Eclipse and will make Eclipse a more functional softphone with an another protocol supported (already working implementations are jingle and Skype). | Marek Zawirski | Scott Lewis, Remy Suen, Chris Aniszczyk, Markus Kuppe? | Marek Zawirski, Poznan University of Technology - Poland | |
Further ECF and Mylyn integration | ECF | Improvement of distributed development process is common goal of Mylyn and ECF projects. There have been some efforts of integrating these projects. However, there are still some fields where integration could be further extended. This especially covers contacting easily with other developers when doing issue-oriented development with Mylyn. Goal of this project is to extend integration between Mylyn and ECF to allow easy task-oriented communication or task exchange. | Marek Zawirski | Remy Suen, Scott Lewis, Chris Aniszczyk, Markus Kuppe? | ||
Patch file editor with an outline view | Workspace | Juggling patches is the practice of every day work for all Eclipse developers. The goal of the project is to create a patch file editor with an outline view. The outline view would allow not only browsing the patch, but also navigating to included files, applying only selected hunks and so on. | Tomasz Zarna | Tomasz Zarna | Details and initial code in bug 190418. | |
"Compare With" dialog | Workspace | The goal of the project is to add a dialog allowing the user to select resources to compare. At this momement the user need to select 2 or 3 files with ctrl-clicking. This is not always as easy and reliable as it seems. The dialog would allow browsing the workspace or file system to locate the resource for comparison. Drag'n'dropping would be also very useful. | Tomasz Zarna | Tomasz Zarna | See bug bug 224562 for details. | |
Patches comparison | Workspace | Juggling patches is the practice of every day work for all Eclipse developers. There are certain use cases when the user would like to compare two patches against each other. The problem is that straight comparison (two patches alone) is not enough, what we need here is comparing diffs in context. | Tomasz Zarna | Tomasz Zarna | Details in bug 198149 and bug 213043. | |
diff from any comparison | Workspace | Generating a patch from any comparison is a very common request. It comes in many flavours: users would like to save a patch while comparing two files, two version in local history, current version and a one with a tag and so on. One thing they have in common is the ability to create a patch from actual comparison. It would be definietly a nice feature to have. | Tomasz Zarna | Tomasz Zarna | Some of the bugs bug 71374, bug 103681, bug 151980... | |
JavaScript debugger for IE | ATF | ATF provides a Mozilla based debugger and an IE debugger would be welcomed. Some of the code from the ACTF could be used as a base (an IE COM bridge) | Philippe Ombredanne | Philippe Ombredanne | ||
New Ajax tools and enhancements | ATF | ATF needs your help to implement new features . See this documents for some ideas | Philippe Ombredanne | Philippe Ombredanne | ||
Novel Rich Client | EclipseMozilla.org ATF | Use the EclipseMozilla browser component and find new ways to program rich client applications. Especially, combining Eclipse technology with HTML and Flash is of interest. You should mesh Eclipse technology with web technologies to create a new unique way for rich client programming. This is a very innovative task. For more info contact me. | Thomas Derflinger | Thomas Derflinger | Takuya Miyamoto, Osaka University, Japan | |
Split File Editor | Platform Text | Implement a split file editor functionality: bug 8009, the most voted-for bug ever in the entire Eclipse universe with >180 votes | Nikolay Botev | Nikolay Botev, San Jose State University - San Jose, California, USA. | ||
Office-2007-ribbon-inspired UI | Platform UI | Toolbars and Menus are so 20th century (extremely outdated) and un-user-friendly. Eclipse's menus are particularly overcrowded and hard to manage. This project would be a bold endeavour - a wild experiment in UI innovation. The idea is to replace the menu and toolbars with an Office 2007-ribbon-inspired structure. Here is a tentative design of the new UI. The structure consists of top-level tabs that correspond to Eclipse IDE perspectives. Under the current tab are groups of buttons with labels on the bottom (like Office 2007). The groups correspond to the current top-level menus. Labels display the full menu on click (unlike Office 2007). The buttons in each group represent a list of relevant actions determined based on some intelligent mix of most-frequently- and most-recently-used statistics. The structure has enough room for 3 rows of buttons in small format with small (16x16) icon and optional label to the right (like Office 2007). The most relevant buttons are displayed in large format when possible, filling all three rows, with a large icon and label below. The structure automatically expands and shrinks based on window size to take advantage of all available space on modern high-resolution/wide-screen displays (like Office 2007). | Nikolay Botev | There has been a good start on this here, and it might be EPL'd already. | Nikolay Botev, San Jose State University - San Jose, California, USA. Claude Ramseyer - Universite de Montpellier 2 - France | |
Equinox and SAT4J | Equinox | Do you like difficult problems of solving resolver problems at runtime? If so... this project is for you. The new provisioning work at Eclipse (p2) is using a new SAT Solver (SAT4J) to do complex resolver computations. This project will explore using SAT4J as the replacement for the current Equinox runtime resolver. | Chris Aniszczyk | BJ Hargrave, Thomas Watson, Chris Aniszczyk | I think this should be more general. It should be about using constraint solver to replace the equinox resolver. Another open-source implementation of a solver is Choco | |
Support for StyledText | RAP | One of the most asked features of RAP is the StyledText widget. Not only to show funny colored texts in your application but it's one of the most complex widgets to implement. But having at least some basic API working enabled RAP to port other parts of RCP to the web based on the new StyledText widget. More information about StyledText can be found here. | Benjamin Muskalla | Frank Appel, Rüdiger Herrmann | Claude Ramseyer - Universite de Montpellier 2 - France | |
Theme Editor | RAP | Theming allows RAP application developers to give their applications a custom style. Currently, a theme must be defined as a .properties file. As the theming capabilities improve, these files are getting more and more complex. A theme editor should provide an easy-to-use user interface for defining themes. It could be shipped as part of the RAP tooling. For more information on the RAP theming, see the online help. | Ralf Sternberg | Ralf Sternberg | Mathias Schaeffner, Coventry University, UK | |
RAP product file | RAP | At the moment RAP does not contain any public tool, which helps the developers to export their projects easier and faster. The goal is to write a plug-in which helps to export projects to a standalone application or a war file. | Balazs Brinkus | Balazs Brinkus, University of Szeged, Hungary | ||
Ant buildfile refactorings | Platform Ant | Ant buildfiles can become large and complex and would benefit from refactoring. Currently there is no support beyond renaming within a buildfile to allow the developer to efficiently refactor Ant buildfiles. The goals would be to implement an infrastructure to support refactorings in Ant buildfiles, participate in other components refactorings and provide a starter set of Ant buildfile refactorings. See bug 89938 for some initial buildfile refactoring ideas. | Darin Swanson | Darin Swanson | ||
Platform/Team Synchronization on top of RSE | Target Management | Remote System Explorer (RSE) provides transparent access to remote resources, including upload and download of files. Compare/merge of entire directory trees as well as minimal upload of trees thanks to Synchronization is currently a missing and often-asked-for feature. The goals would be integrating Platform/Team synchronization APIs on top of RSE file providers first, and then improving the algorithms for performing remote comparisons with minimal data transfer (by using timestamps, file sizes and MD5 hashes eventually). See bug 185925 for more details. | Martin Oberhuber | Martin Oberhuber | Takuya Miyamoto, Osaka University, Japan | |

All Markers View: Add "Filters" text field with query support | Platform UI | Type Filters such in the Preferences dialog or Plugin Registry view are pretty cool Eclipse features: while typing only the things are shown matched by the query. This works fine filtering trees, but not applicable for tables. In a table or a table tree you may apply your filter only on a specific column or combine some simple queries. Such a filter input field should be added on top of the All Markers or Problems view allowing queries like: (a) Description:token - in Description column: a word which starts with token (b) Java AND (Eclipse OR Equinox) - in any column: Java and Eclipse or Java and Equinox (c) *Dialog< - in any column: a word ends with Dialog. A content assist should support entering complex queries by providing all columns titles plus ":". This proposal may simplify the filter dialog of the Problems view sometime. | Holger Voormann, Andrei Loskutov | |||
Search functionality in Subversive | Subversive | Subversive provides functionality to browse repository remotely through Repository View, inspect revisions through History View and make updates and commits through Synchronize View. It covers most use cases typical for development. But there is another pretty important use case – search. It will be very useful if Subversive allows searching specific revisions by the name of modified resource, commit message, etc. Ideally search component should support extended operations set, for example: search resource by name in old revisions, even it doesn't exist in HEAD, etc. | Igor Vinnykov | Alexander Gurov |

WISHART, TREVOR: Machine
Another landmark release from paradigm. Assembled between 1969-1971 this visionary work uses multiple recorded power station, factory and machine sounds (as well as air raids, radio noise, the Apollo landing, a Saturn rocket launch, the sea, body-sounds, exotic musics, a Palestrina mass and voices) to construct a dense, grounded, complex, organic and powerful unfolding of the clash - or infatuation - between humanity and technology as it was manifested in the white heat of technology/nuclear terror/Frankenstein years of the late '60s ands '70s. Aesthetically informed by the dreams of futurism and early modernism, and by the revolutions of electronic and musique concrete, this makes the industrial musics of the mid '70s through the laptop era seem rather one-dimensional.

Princeton University will honor four exceptional New Jersey secondary school teachers at its 2010 Commencement on Tuesday, June 1.
This year's honorees are Roy Chambers, Westfield High School, Westfield; Gregory Devine, Delbarton School, Morristown; Argine Safari, Pascack Valley High School, Hillsdale; and Hans Toft, Cape May County Technical High School, Cape May Court House.
The teachers were selected for the award from 81 nominations from public and private schools around the state. Each teacher will receive $5,000 as well as $3,000 for his or her school library.
"What distinguishes this year's winners is their extraordinary ability to establish a deeply human connection between the subjects they love and teach and the lives of their students," said John Webb, director of Princeton's Program in Teacher Preparation, which administers the awards. "In a time when there is such an intense focus on student performance data as a mark of a teacher's excellence, their work and the reactions of their students, always expressed with utter and profound sincerity, remind us that good teaching is about mutual respect built on the foundation of love for learning. We all have much to learn from these outstanding educators."
The staff of the Program in Teacher Preparation selected 11 finalists, each of whom was visited at work by an observer. Finalists were selected by a committee that was chaired by Dean of the College Nancy Malkiel and included Webb, two Princeton professors and two external education professionals.
Princeton has honored secondary school teachers since 1959. The University received an anonymous gift from an alumnus to establish the program.
Following is information about the honorees:
Roy Chambers
Whether he's leading one of his five art classes, designing the latest set for a school play or practicing tai chi before marching band practice, Roy Chambers is constantly teaching. His is a holistic approach to education, one that both students and faculty recognize as perhaps his greatest asset.
Chambers, who began teaching at Westfield High School in 1999, teaches courses in the foundations of art, drawing, and graphic design at both an introductory and advanced level. In addition, Chambers is a marching band consultant, a set director for the drama department and a daily afterschool volunteer with Project 79, an alternative education program designed for 100 students who are either self-selected or recommended by a teacher.
In nominating Chambers for the award, Linda King, fine arts supervisor for the Westfield School District, said he "conveys a sense of warmth and compassion for his students and his work," adding that "Mr. Chambers is an artist; he is a student; he is a teacher."
In referencing his teaching techniques, King said Chambers' students are consistently "challenged and stimulated through various methodologies," and that he incorporates "demonstration, lecture, group work, collaborative work with other art classes and colleagues, and individual instruction."
Recent examples of this include an Earth Day exhibit, which, in conjunction with science and community service clubs, required students to make art entirely from recycled materials; a sand painting involving the entire school; and an annual field trip, which partners local third-grade students with Chambers' students at Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton for exploration.
"Roy understands that the line between school and the 'real world' is illusory," said Peter Horn, coordinator of alternative education for Westfield. "He is thoroughly committed to school as a place where people can engage difficult questions creatively and with respect for others' views."
In addition to the depth of Chambers' educational investment -- as well as his myriad extracurricular commitments -- it is his careful attention and availability to each of his students that sets him apart.
"Mr. Chambers' best quality is arguably the dedication and care he provides his students and the [Westfield High School] community," said Cheryl Wu, a junior at Westfield and a student in several of Chambers' classes. "He is not only supportive of artistic endeavors but individuals as well. His open-mindedness and helpful nature are valuable sources of advice and comfort in times of need."
Chambers said he is perpetually aware of the importance these individual connections hold, not only to his students, but also to his own goals as a teacher.
"Each successive connection or interaction is successful because of the experiences I have had in the past," Chambers said. "When I put my full effort and attention into a lesson, event or individual -- when I am truly present, enthusiastic and fully aware of that moment -- then the results are extremely effective."
Chambers received a bachelor's degree in communications, design and technology from Jersey City State College in 1985 and a teacher certification in art from New Jersey City University in 1993.
Gregory Devine
In more than a decade of teaching Advanced Placement (AP) physics at the Delbarton School, Gregory Devine is faced each year with the daunting task of not only making complex concepts understandable, but making them interesting as well. Devine's students and colleagues agree that he has succeeded.
"Greg teaches arguably one of our most difficult courses with enormous success," said Anne Lecki, Delbarton's dean of faculty. "When our administrative team first considered who we would nominate as a distinguished educator, the choice for Greg Devine was immediate and unanimous."
Lecki added that although Delbarton offers more than 25 AP courses every year, the results of Devine's AP physics B and C exams are consistently the private school's highest, with more than 95 percent of the school's AP physics students obtaining scores of either 4 or 5 (out of 5) on their exams.
"Yet these high scores are not what the students value most," said Lecki. "Greg Devine sparks a passion for learning in his students, and his students respond in kind."
A faculty member since 1993, Devine's teaching experience at Delbarton has included first- and second-year AP physics, AP calculus, advanced level algebra, and both introductory and conceptual physics.
In her nomination letter, Delbarton's dean of guidance, Shelly Levine, referred to Devine as "simply an awesome teacher," adding that he possesses "that rare gift of inspiration: He is able to teach and inspire students at all levels, so that they not only understand the subject matter but love and appreciate it as well."
Levine added that Devine "understands and relates to young people in a way that eludes most adults." Devine often incorporates hands-on examples and experiments pertaining to his lessons, which are interspersed with humor and a conversational teaching style.
"That is how I learned the hardest stuff," said Devine. "The lessons you figure out on your own are the most tightly held."
Devine also is known for consistently devoting his spare time to the study of contemporary engineering and physics, such as when he traveled across the country last summer to several universities, museums, laboratories and engineering facilities in order to stay current with research and developments in the fields.
As an accomplished trumpeter, Devine also directs Delbarton's wind, jazz and brass ensembles.
For several years in a row, he also has served as the at-large faculty representative on the Delbarton Academic Council, a committee that advises the headmaster in academic matters. In addition, Devine mentors new faculty members, privately tutors students and coaches the school's competing engineering design team.
Martin Scheeler, a Princeton junior majoring in physics and former student of Devine's, said his dedication to and love of physics "would not be nearly as strong" had it not been for Devine's inspiration.
"With each test and problem set he would stress that it was never about what grade you got, it was about the physics you learned," recalled Scheeler. "His teaching embodied this philosophy, as it had little regard for the limits of the AP exam, going far beyond the AP syllabus, covering new and advanced material simply because he found it exciting and wanted us to as well."
The topics may be challenging, but for Devine, the equation of his success is quite simple.
"I really like what I do with the kids, and the magnitude of that makes me think about why I want to work with students," Devine said. "I love the physics, music and math too much … and I think of it as purchasing a luxury to work in what you want."
Devine earned bachelor's degrees in both physics and music from Williams College in 1993 and a master's degree in teaching from Harvard University in 1997.
Argine Safari
Even during her years as a translator, insurance agent and financial adviser, Argine Safari had one constant: music. It was the overarching passion in her life, and 15 years ago she turned that passion into a career of teaching.
Safari has been a music teacher at Pascack Valley Regional High School for five years. She teaches concert choir, lunch choir, chamber choir and both an introductory and advanced class in music theory. Safari has been "a tour de force that has forever changed the Pascack Valley music department and the entire Pascack Valley High School culture," said Phyllis Pizzolato, district supervisor of world languages, music and family and consumer sciences.
As a teacher, Safari has endeavored to integrate all aspects of a student's education into her music curricula, frequently collaborating with teachers in other disciplines for a more holistic understanding of music's importance.
For example, Safari partnered with the social studies department in developing a course titled "Music and Society," which teaches students about the evolution of musical style in connection with important historical events.
She also worked closely with the world languages department to design a project titled "Songs of the World," a concert that included performances of songs in 13 languages. Students not only learned about the different cultures being expressed in the music, but also the history of the folk songs they were performing.
As another example of her crossdisciplinary approach, Safari teamed with the special education department on a project titled "The Effect of Listening to Music on Language, Learning and Memory," which taught students that storing music and language together in both the right and left hemispheres of the brain increased synaptic connections in both.
"As a colleague of Ms. Safari, I have witnessed a seemingly endless list of improvements to our music department," said Susan Dunn, who has been teaching world language at Pascack Valley for 32 years. Whether through "innovative classroom teaching" that involves various forms of technology, writing new AP music theory curricula, establishing and conducting new ensembles, or advising new student officers in both choir and band, Dunn said Safari "has initiated a dramatic change in the quality of music education and performance, unearthing the true potential of our students."
In 2007, Safari also was responsible for starting Pascack Valley's first male a cappella group, The Bro Squad, which was just one of many factors that gave this year's choir president, Graham Terry, "the passion, as well as the drive, to pursue music education as my ultimate career goal."
"As a shy freshman without many friends, I was able to find myself as a person through the many performances and leadership opportunities that she has offered me," added Terry, now a senior.
Safari likens her job as a music teacher to the elusive challenge of artistic creation, finding shape and order in chaos.
"What I love most about my profession is the opportunity to constantly challenge my students and to help them find their true potential," said Safari. "Michelangelo once said that his 'David' was always inside that piece of marble, and all he had to do was chip away and chip away, until 'David' was finally revealed. I love to chip away 'pieces of marble' and reveal the true talent that is nestled within."
Safari earned an associate's degree in music education from the Yerevan R. Melikian Music College in Yerevan, Armenia; a bachelor's degree in business management and finance from Brooklyn College; and a bachelor's degree in piano performance and theory, as well as a master's degree in musicology and composition, from the Moscow P.I. Tchaikovsky Conservatory.
Hans Toft
Even though Hans Toft has taught at Cape May County Technical High School for 39 years, principal Michael Adams said the teacher's "youthful enthusiasm and fresh approach to each teaching day makes it seem like his first."
Toft began his career at the high school as an instructor of marine and natural sciences. At the time, the school was a traditional shared-time vocational institution, educating mostly special needs and disaffected students. But after the school was restructured as a full-time technical high school in 1994, Toft helped design the three-level class he now teaches.
In his capacity as the school's natural sciences teacher, Toft works with a cohort of 20 students per grade level for three years, developing a strong relationship with each one while also acting as their adviser.
Adams said Toft's teaching "reflects the best theoretical practices blended with the real needs of kids," adding that Toft is a "humble master of the craft whose legacy will live on far beyond his time in the classroom."
Perhaps those are some of the reasons why natural sciences is the most consistently requested program offered at the school. Adams said that during any given year, nearly 50 percent of the freshman class interviews for one of the 22 slots available at the introductory level.
The natural sciences program -- which teaches students about a broad range of topics, including animal husbandry, upland and marine ecology, habitat observation and dendrology -- affords many opportunities for Toft to utilize dynamic, experiential instruction.
Toft's hands-on teaching style is evident, for example, in his approach to falconry.
"I put gloves on [the students'] hands, safety glasses on their eyes and show them how to hold their fists properly," said Toft. "Then I call a red-tail hawk down from a tree to land on their fist. This grabs their attention in a way that Xboxes, television, cell phones and video games cannot. After they have had such a magnificent experience, the true learning can begin."
According to senior Nicholas Lanza, Toft's classroom contains an array of fish tanks filled with aquatic samples from the local ecosystem, a woodworking station designed for creating projects using wood harvested from local forests, an incubator for raising various game birds, a reptile enclosure and a holding tank designed for exceptionally large fish.
But even with all that the classroom has to offer, Lanza said "on any given day you would not find us in the classroom, but instead we would be in our primary classroom: the outdoors."
Throughout the course of their three-year experience with Toft, students undertake projects that include obtaining biological samples from the saltwater ecosystem, studying aquatic organisms in their natural habitats, replenishing local oyster and clam populations and monitoring bald eagle nests. Lanza said all of this educational stimulation is "so enjoyable that it is not unusual for me to forget I am in school."
Each year, local elementary schools also take advantage of Toft's passion for teaching natural sciences, embarking on annual field trips with Toft and his students to nearby marshes for exploration of fiddler crab habitats, to deep New Jersey forests for the study of rare trees and into the classroom to feed the hundreds of aquatic species on display.
Matt Hamer, a former student of Toft's who currently is studying wildlife biology at Paul Smith's College in New York State, said this style of instruction instilled in him "a love and understanding of the natural world that surrounds us, while teaching me life lessons in a way only [Toft] could. … I don't believe that I will ever again have a teacher as enthusiastic and committed to his students as Mr. Toft."
Toft earned a bachelor's degree in science agriculture and natural resources from Rutgers University in 1971, as well as a teaching certificate in marine science and in science and general biology from Rowan University in 1976 and 1991, respectively.

SS6 Stage Series 6" White Light Bar (one)
- Advanced TIR (total internal reflection) optic
- Slim design, for easy mounting
- Available in driving or wide beam patterns
These light bars have been designed for maximum functionality, with compact size, custom-engineered TIR optics, and a useful beam pattern, all in a highly durable package.
First, we started with a narrow-profile extruded housing, to allow fitment in small and tight areas. At less than 42mm tall, they'll fit in many places a traditional dual-row light bar won't, while drastically cutting the total weight as well.
But the compact size doesn't mean they're short on power! Thanks to the high-intensity Lumileds LED chips, coupled with our U.S. PATENT PENDING total internal reflection (TIR) optic, the total intensity of the Stage Series is far higher than a standard, generic light bar using basic optics or reflectors. Standard optics lose light internally, and to glare, spreading a little bit of light in every direction. Instead, the TIR optic in the Stage Series collects all of the light from the LED, and directs it only where you need it, drastically reducing glare and improving total efficiency.
This TIR optic was designed with optical simulation modelling, to shape the output in a highly-functional beam pattern. Rather than a simple "spot" pattern, the Stage Series has a rectangular Driving pattern, far more useful for directing light downrange at high speeds. And instead of a standard "flood," the Wide option provides an extremely wide field of view, without wasting any light in the sky above. These light bars provide light where you want it, and don't shine where you don't.
Not just off road! In six-inch size, when installed as a pair and aimed in accordance with your state's regulations, the Driving pattern meets SAE J581 as a Driving/Auxiliary High Beam Light, and the Wide pattern meets SAE J583 as a Foglamp, for legal on-road use. Please check your local laws and regulations for aiming, installation, and applicability.
All Stage Series LED lighting products use a standard Deutsch-style connector, and come with a 1-foot pigtail, with bare leads. You can wire yourself, or select an optional wire harness.
Diode Dynamics is pleased to offer a limited 8 year warranty on all Stage Series products.

The Giants are 4-0 this season in elimination games, and like a roach that can't be killed, they keep surviving and living to play another day. And so we Dodgers fans might as well accept it now, that the Tigers will be playing the Giants in the World Series. Cardinals fans, get ready to be disappointed, tonight and tomorrow.
Just look at the facts:
- Like in the NLDS, the Giants again faced a three-game hole in their series. But unlike the NLDS, the last two games are at home in their friendly short-porch confines. And they've already proven they could win three straight in Cincinnati; now that they've batted St. Louis back in Game 5, Games 6 and 7 at Phone Park should be a cakewalk.
- How else to explain the Game 5 performance of Barry Zito, whose fastball is three seasons removed from any zip, yet flummoxed the red-hot Cardinals and stopped their two-game roll? Zito, who wasn't even good enough to make the Giants' 2010 postseason roster, stumbles into the 2012 playoffs and notches a postseason victory? The baseball gods are clearly smiling on the Giants.
- Orange and black colors are a putrid combination normally, but one has to admit that as we get closer to Halloween, this combination becomes slightly more commonplace and thus a bit less offensive to the eye.
- Ryan Vogelsong, Game 2 NLCS winner, takes the mound for Game 6. And then they've got their ace, Matt Cain, going in Game 7. That's nails.
- Meanwhile, Chris Carpenter takes the mound for the Cards tonight. Carp lasted a pathetic four innings in Game 2, yielding five runs (two earned, with unearned runs due in part to his throwing error), and took the loss. He'll be toast tonight.
- SF is 62-36 at night this year; St Louis is a mediocre 54-50 at night.
- Accuscore / ESPN has St Louis as a slight favorite, with a 55% chance of a win. Which means it won't be at all surprising when the Giants win tonight.
- Winning tonight would give the Giants all the momentum for Game 7, by the way. Which I will remind you is at home.
- The Cardinals didn't get into town until Saturday afternoon, almost 12 hours after the Giants arrived in California. Commentators will always tell you how travel has such an impact on athletes' ability to play effectively. The Cardinals will be wiped.
- The Giants will be riding a wave of emotion, according to the SF Comical.
- And in kind, the San Francisco crowd will be fired up, what with the 49ers having already won this week, Stanford having dominated Cal in the Big Game, and nothing else to compete with this marquee matchup. Concession stands will be stocked with extra chardonnay.
Look, I've already come to terms with it. San Francisco is rolling on, to its second World Series in three years. This is an inevitability, and there's not a damn thing we Dodgers fans can do about it.
All we can do now is hope that the Tigers are rested.

Once you have mastered the basics and you can make a perfect grilled cheese sandwich every time, there is no need to fear getting bored as there are near endless things that you can do with grilled cheese sandwiches. You can start by changing up the basics by trying different breads and cheeses and then you can move on to adding condiments like mustard and meats like ham. From there you can start experimenting and you might be surprised to find that sweet things like jams work very well when combined with melted cheese in a light, buttery and toasty sandwich! Sweet and spicy chutneys are just packed with flavour and they are also really amazing in a grilled cheese sandwich! One of my favourite things to add to grilled cheese sandwiches is pestos and when combined with other ingredients they can become a real treat indeed! Another great way to go is with salads like a chicken salad, an egg salad or a tuna salad which when made in the form of a grilled cheese sandwich is sometimes called a melt.
Before we start you might want to take a look at my tips for making the perfect grilled cheese sandwich every time and each of those tips applies to these gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches!
What is your favourite grilled cheese sandwich? Let me know in a comment below!
The Caramelized Apple Grilled Cheese Sandwich (photo above) has to be my favorite take on a grilled cheese sandwich so far! Apples and cheddar are a great combo and this grilled cheese sandwich is a perfect example with the sweet and savoury coming together to form something greater than the sum of its parts.
Jalapeño Popper Grilled Cheese Sandwich – A close second is this grilled cheese sandwich that includes all of the flavours of jalaeno poppers including roasted jalapeno peppers, cream cheese cheddar cheese and even some crumbled tortilla chips for crunch!
Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwich – Like buffalo wings? If so, this is the grilled cheese sandwich for you with its spicy, moist and tender chicken all smothered in melted cheddar cheese including with a hint of blue cheese.
Caprese Grilled Cheese Sandwich – Another twist on a classic and this time the caprese salad. This grilled cheese sandwich includes ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and a healthy dollop or two of basil pesto.
Spinach Pesto Grilled Cheese Sandwich – Pestos work amazingly well in grilled cheese sandwiches and this one was inspired by the flavours of spanakopita using a spinach pesto and lots of melty cheese.
Asparagus Grilled Cheese Sandwich – This roasted asparagus sandwich is a favourite when asparagus is available! Just look at that melted cheese dripping out!
Mushroom Grilled Cheese Sandwich (aka The Mushroom Melt) – A decadent grilled cheese sandwich filled to the brim with caramelized mushrooms and a sea of ooey gooey melted cheese!
Lobster Grilled Cheese Sandwich – When you think about a grilled cheese sandwich you think of quick, simple and cheap but there is nothing stopping you from indulging every once in a while and this lobster grilled cheese certainly is decadent.
Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Mango Chutney – Sweet, and spicy mango chutney is simply amazing when combined with melted cheese and encased in light, toasty and buttery bread!
This Jalapeno Cornbread Grilled Cheese with Chipotle Caramelized Onions, Refried Black Beans and Guacamole is a bit out there as far as grilled cheese sandwiches go but it is truly amazing both with it's perfect combination of flavour and with the different textures. Definitely a must try!

This outfit is named after my dear sewing student, Rachel. You know how teachers are always saying that their students inspire them? It's so true!
The skirt is a pattern she and I developed together.
Rachel couldn't find a pencil skirt pattern that fit her the way she liked, so I draped one right on her body. From there, we've been exploring patternmaking for lots of different skirt styles, and we've recently been on a pleat mission. Rachel brought in this picture of Katie Holmes in a Caroline Herrara skirt, and wanted to copy it (jewels and all).
{source} |
I made the skirt up in a thick stretch sateen in a pretty sapphire color. The whole thing is lined in mint Bemberg lining, with a little lace for effect.
I finished the waist with polka dot petersham ribbon (I have a video class on this technique if you're interested).
Readers, I'm curious how you would have sewn this lining. I used the same pattern as for the skirt, but just folded the pleats at the top rather than stitching them, to give wearing ease in the lining.
The shirt is also Rachel-inspired. She noted one day how she rarely sees me in separates, just dresses. My problem with separates, readers, is that's at least twice the outfit to decide on! And I'm not a morning person. Rachel's advice was this: figure out a "uniform" for yourself, and then just grab one of each uniform piece in the morning. She favors tailored button-down blouses, so I thought I would make one to match my skirt, in her honor.
This is Burda 2561, and I'm mostly happy with it. It has a nice easy fit that can be tucked in with a skirt or tied sassily in front with jeans. The armhole is pretty low, however, so I plan to remedy that when I make it again. The fabric is a lightweight cotton/silk blend from TrueMart Fabrics near FIT.
And here's the woman herself, trying on a jacket we were working on together earlier this year! Isn't she fabulous?

Investigators are now saying arson was not the likely cause of a fire that on Monday destroyed a cypress tree in Central Florida that was an estimated 3,500 years old — making it perhaps the oldest such tree in the nation and one of the oldest in the world.
Known as "The Senator," the tree that once stood 165 feet tall (before a hurricane lopped off about 45 feet in 1925) was more likely brought down by a fire that had been smoldering inside it — without being detected — since a lightning strike about a week ago, investigators say.
As WFTV-TV says, "Seminole County Fire Rescue spokesman Steve Wright said that the tree was hollow" and that the fire does not appear to have begun from the outside.
The Orlando Sentinel adds that while "an investigator with the state Division of Forestry has listed the cause of the fire as 'undetermined,' " that agency has also "ruled out arson as the cause," according to spokesman Cliff Frazier. That's a shift from what authorities first suspected.
According to Florida Today, the tree was named for Florida Sen. M.O. Overstreet, "who in 1927 donated the property on which the landmark sits." That property is now Seminole County's Big Tree Park. President Coolidge came for the park's dedication in 1929.
We see varying claims about the tree's ranking among the world's oldest. WFTV-TV calls it "one of the world's oldest cypress trees." The Sentinel says its age was estimated when "the American Forestry Association bored a small hole in The Senator in 1946 for a core sample."
Firefighters tried to save The Senator, and laid more than 800 feet of hose to get to it. They did manage, however, to protect Lady Liberty, a nearby cypress that's an estimated 2,000 years old.

Well, the results are in and Tin Man came in fifth place. My lowest yet. Ironic since I actually thought he was a little more mainstream than previous years which placed higher. The viewing public voted and have spoken - and I have the light blue Honorable Mention ribbon to prove it.
He made two children actually cry. That's a pretty cool prize.
See the winners:
First Place.
Second Place.
Third Place.
Fourth Place (Honorable Mention).
Fifth Place (Honorable Mention).

Rot, what category were you in? When you look at the others, they really weren't scarecrows at all! They were just unoriginal corporate cartoon displays. Don't get me wrong I love Snoopy and PEANUTS more than the average person, and that Snoopy set up was pretty funny, but for originality, creativity and just plain Halloween awesomeness, yours can't be beat! It was a pleasure to actually get to see your work up close.
FIRST PLACE!! - October 2, 2009 at 12:02 PM

I usually enter the Traditional category, but I felt Tin Man wasn't exactly like a regular scarecrow like Johnny Appleseed or The Hollowman, so I put him in the Quite the Character category - a figure from TV or Film...
I'm actually shocked that the UP character didn't beat the Snoopy- Killing-Birds-With-A-Machine-Gun scarecrow. - October 2, 2009 at 12:08 PM

BAH! As always, it should have been you, Rot! Should have been you...
Making the two kids cry though, now that's a definite win! :) - October 2, 2009 at 12:15 PM

Not sure why the second place one was so high. Yours is the best out of all 5 of those entries, though. I LOL'd at the witch one.

Ridiculous. It's impossible to please those people without going full-cute. Are they forgetting what Halloween is?

Nearly speechless am I... who the heck is judging this thing and what are they on? Your Tin Man was clearly THE WIN - have you made someone mad and been blacklisted? That's all I can think of ...you are #1 ALL THE WAY!

- Pam Morris said...
well, there's the public and then there's the public....the majority ain't always right...anyway, as far as I'm concerned there is absolutely no doubt your 'tin man' should have won; from an artistic point of view, there was no contest.

- Mr. Macabre said...
Yep, you were robbed.
The house on the wicked witch should have been disqualified...it wasn't even a scarecrow in any sense of the word.
At least you scared some children, that's one good thing! - October 2, 2009 at 5:09 PM
- Rot said...
Thanks, everyone.
I appreciate it : ) - October 2, 2009 at 6:18 PM

We all know who the real winner was. I think it's like you said before, the day you win is when you've probably lost your touch.
I am glad that you keep doing what you do, and not conforming to what they want you to do. - October 2, 2009 at 7:46 PM

Looks like the people voting were of the front-yard-inflatable-decoration people.
You know your work is loved. - October 2, 2009 at 8:00 PM

Its just another example of how the majority has forgotten the tradition of Halloween. Keep pumping out those props, Rot.
HAUNTERS UNITE!! - October 2, 2009 at 9:26 PM

I am shocked.
Can't believe that you didn't win!
Looking at the winner...you probably lost points when the kids cried...even though being scared is what Halloween is about!! - October 2, 2009 at 10:22 PM
- Brad said...
It would probably take you about 5 minutes to whip up some piece of corporate junk that would win hands down. Thank God you create genuine art instead! Who judge's this thing anyway? Not one of the 4 'winners' were actual scarecrows!

Obviously you were in the wrong contest, not category--those things wouldn't scare crows or anything else.

Well, He is one of your finest scarecrows man... and that all that really matters.

Halloween has turned into cute yard inflatables and "sexy" fill in the blank women's costumes. I intend to battle to the death!

That is just insane. I don't get it.

You should design one that eats all the other scarecrows after the competition ends.
Simply amazing, as always.

Thanks, all : )
Was telling people at the office I'm going to make a Harry Otter scarecrow next year and take first place.
A wizard otter... I'll be rich.
Some of them believed me. - October 5, 2009 at 9:09 AM
- Sonya said...
Laaaame. I echo the sentiment--most of those don't even look like they're supposed to be scarecrows. The Happy Rainbows and Unicorns Brigade must have been judging. BAH!

Rot, your creation is out of the others' league. Yours IS the best one! Keep up the fantastic work!

On Tuesday morning, the reports of Salman Taseer's assassination topped headlines around the world. Taseer, the governor of Punjab, Pakistan's largest province, had been killed by one of his own security guards in a market in Islamabad. The assassination comes amidst mounting political chaos in Pakistan, marked by the instability of the government's ruling coalition and the increasing prominence of Islamist opposition to the country's secular leaders.
In its initial coverage of these developments, the mainstream press has drawn attention to many issues, including the price of fuel, which was the immediate cause of the defection of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, or MQM, from Prime Minister Gilani's ruling coalition, and Taseer's opposition to a blasphemy law, which imposes a death sentence against those who insult Islam. But one thing the mainstream press has not addressed is the U.S. war in the Af-Pak region. Following the coverage of Taseer's death, you would not even know that such a war existed.
This is a remarkable omission in light of how the strategic focus of the U.S./NATO war has shifted from Afghanistan to Pakistan in the last year, as evidenced by the latest progress report on the war and the current pressures being placed on Pakistan to cooperate with the U.S. agenda. In 2010, there were 118 drone attacks along the border between Afghan and Pakistan, mostly in North Waziristan, more than double the number in 2009.
What Guardian reporter Mehdi Hasan and others have called "the year of the drone" was neglected by The New York Times, which did not even report the drone attacks that killed over 65 people in the last ten days of 2010.
Although readers of the Times may not have the full story, the drone attacks and the U.S. influence on the ruling coalition are a key part of Pakistan's political landscape. At a recent press conference in Peshawar, Nek Zaman, who heads the group Jamiar Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) in the federally administered tribal areas, denounced the drone war, which killed 800 civilians in the last year: "Those claiming to be part of the civilized world and human rights organizations should take note of the gross violation of human rights and killing of innocent women, children and elderly and raise their voices for an immediate halt to the drone attacks."
JUI-F is just the latest political group in Pakistan to condemn the drone attacks. By most accounts, the Pakistani populace opposes the U.S. intervention and the ruling coalition that supports it. They see it not only as an attack on their sovereignty, but also an act of humiliation against Muslims.
On Monday, State Department spokesperson P.J. Crowley insisted that the current parliamentary crisis is about "internal politics within Pakistan." If only the line between domestic and foreign policy were that clear. As Anatol Lieven wrote in The Nation, U.S. pressure on Pakistan has contributed to the instability of the Pakistani state. According to Lieven, it has also contributed to the rise of Islamism within Pakistan: "More than any other factor, it is our campaign in Afghanistan that has radicalized Pakistanis and turned many of them not only against the West but against their own government and ruling system. In the worst case, the consequence of Western actions could be to destroy Pakistan as a state and produce a catastrophe that would reduce the problems in Afghanistan to insignificance by comparison."
In the days ahead, official spokespeople and supporters of the unofficial surge in Pakistan will no doubt condemn Taseer's assassination, lament the rise of Islamist sentiment in Pakistan, and emphasize the importance of stability there. In hawkish national security circles, the assassination will serve as cause for increasing the U.S. military presence in order to ensure stability in the region. In Tea Party circles, a new round of anti-Muslim speak will use Taseer's death to support claims about the dangers of radical Islam to freedom of speech and freedom of religion. None of this rhetoric will acknowledge the role of the U.S. in fostering the very climate it claims to be fighting against.
If these voices have their way, the drones will go on and Lindsey Graham will have his wish of permanent bases in Afghanistan fulfilled.
It's curious how the power of U.S. foreign policy to disrupt and destabilize the Af-Pak region can be so de-emphasized while at the same time its power to change the region for the better can be so exaggerated.
