I am also no Eclipse expert but I will do my best to give you the necessary guidance and advice. I mentored a similar project years ago but it is not directly comparable with what we have for NetBeans already and license is not compatible with the Apache license. Anyway what I have it mind goes in the direction of the NetBeans plugin. I recommend that you take a look on it and try it out. The idea is to provide some further tooling for developers who prefer Eclipse over NetBeans and potentially bring in more ideas ;-) Or support the same kind of wizard for different languages, eg. Java, Python and maybe c++. But the initial project should focus on the first basic steps of course. For example setting up working extension projects in Eclipse and think in a second step how it can convert in a plugin with wizards..., > > What will be your selection criteria for a GSoC student?
