OK, thanks, I've renamed it to the following which is more descriptive: http://wiki.apache.org/commons/SCXML/GSoC2010EclipsePluginProposal I see that you have also added your proposals (2) to the GSoC site. Finding a mentor will increase your chances, but looks like we don't have one as of now. Inspite of that, if you are interested in feedback, I have two comments: * In the ordered list at the end of the "Detailed Description" section, I think it may be better to switch the order of items 2 and 3 (I think the export feature to generate an SCXML document is lower hanging fruit, and is also a more requested feature than the debug). * In the same list, I see that you mention item 4 as a "tentative", and I agree that it really seems like a stretch goal. Perhaps you can reduce the number of code generation deliverables (say, just leave Java) and even that code can leverage the Commons SCXML APIs and assume those jars are available (unlike your scenario in the paragraph above the list where you talk about generating code without dependencies). -Rahul > 2010/3/31 xunlong gui <ustbco...@gmail.com> >> >> Hi all, >> >> I have been using Apache Commons SCXML Engine for more than two years,Now >> i have an idea to improve it, and I wanted to post it and see if there would >> be any interest in it in the Apache SCXML community.
