Status update

This is my a status update for today's Eclipse SoC meeting. You can join us on Thursdays at noon (EDT) in #eclipse-soc.

My goals for this week were:

1. Make JREFinder check in a few places for JREs
2. Package it as a feature
3. Add to SoC CVS
4. Write the "jdt preference injector" which injects discovered values into the corresponding jdt preferences.

#1 Make JREFinder check in a few places for JREs: I wrote an example JRE finder that searches in Program Files for installed JREs; works only on Windows.

#2 Package it as a feature: I found out how to do so here http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/FAQ_How_do_I_create_a_feature%3F . I shall package my project as a feature once the other three items are done.

#3 Add to SoC CVS: Done. Our code is now available at soc.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/soc/org.eclipse.soc.discovery. Thanks, Markus :-)

#4 Write the "jdt preference injector" which injects discovered values into the corresponding jdt preferences: I'm still working on this. The classes that allow me to inject values into JDTs list of VMs are in an internal package and so I can't use them. I have sent an email to the jdt-core-deve mailing list asking for help with this problem.
