Hi all,
I will add the additional features to the project as you have suggested
I tried creating a draft high level architecture diagram for the project. And I
also started with creating the draft proposal. The link is given below.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/12JqluYhlcWAN8kqxfTcwVrH_ylKaf3sNvevodOxwRho/edit?usp=sharing
The draft architecture diagram and its components are briefly described their.
I didn't completed the implementation part and other latter parts completely
yet.
Regarding the architecture diagram, please let me know if that fits the purpose
or any changes need to be done? For some use cases, I have denoted in the
diagram as separate modules for easy visualization and scalability purposes.
But certain modules can be integrated together into a single module if needed,
during implementation.
And regarding the format of the proposal, have I missed anything? Do I need to
include anything else? Please let me know your idea about that.
Thanks and regards
Nathiesha

Hello Nathiesha ,
Please find my comments inline,
Regarding the Dev Studio, what type of users are using it? Is it for the
internal developers, external developers or for both? And when reporting the
errors for the wso2 Jira, other than the information about the error, what
information about users should be collected? I hope name and email would be
sufficient enough.
It is for both. mainly it is for artifact development for WSO2 products and
hence majority of the users are our customers, which would fall into external
developers according to your categorization.
When considering the error reporting tool plugin found in Eclipse Mars, it
provides a feature for the user to anonymize stack trace and anonymize messages
if it contains sensitive data. Will that feature be useful for this proposed
plugin as well?
Yes, +1. This would be a required feature since customers may have sensitive
data they need to hide before reporting the error.
Other than the automatic error reporting to the wso2 Jira, an additional
feature can be added to the plugin for the user to enter an email address, if
he wishes to send the error report to some person/mailing list, only if that is
useful. Furthermore should the plugin provide a way to contact the development
team through the IDE? Like may be a menu item, that pops up a window that
allows user to send a message/email to the development team? Or is it just the
automated error reporting functionality expected?
We need to discuss this internally in the team. I'll provide you feedback later
on this.
Regarding the Jira wso2 online supporting system, I came through Jira Rest APIs
that allows to access Jira services. Can those be used to access wso2 online
supporting system as well? Or is there any other way or separate API for wso2
online supporting system ?
You can use Jira rest APIs to access WSO2 support JIRA system.
And as additional features, would it be useful if reporter is provided on a
feedback, where reporter can track the error and view the progress if he is
interested? And also maybe to keep track of the errors sent previously and skip
reporting the similar errors?
+1 these would be interesting features to have if you can integrate them with
the task given.

Hi ,
Thank you. I will look into the ‘IDeveloperStudioLog’ class to get an idea
about the logging information.
I’ve got some more questions regarding the project and developer studio.

Hello Natheisha,
Please find my inline comments,
However I noticed the logging class wso2 plugin has provided. Does it use any
IStatus Objects or log any additional plugin specific information/error codes
other than the normal error log info Eclipse provides? If so it would be useful
to know about those in detail, when designing the error report format that need
to be sent to the central server.
Please checkout the code and check the "IDeveloperStudioLog" class. this is the
interface used to log information (warning, error etc) in developer studio. you
can trace the implementation of this "DeveloperStudioLog" class and check how
the logging is handled. If you need further information on this get back to us
with specifics.
I studied about the error log file and how the error related information like
meta Data, stack trace, system configuration info, java version, OS version and
info about bundles, plugins involved, can be fetched into the proposed plugin,
to create the error report to be sent. Is there any other information that I
have missed and that should be included when sending the error report?
These information appears to be sufficient. Please check with the information
that are being logged in Mars eclipse.
And as you have replied to my previous email, it is clear that Eclipse platform
errors as well as the devStudio plugin errors need to be reported. What about
the expected errors where user expects, like exception to be thrown in
particular situations like network not available, invalid license, resource
blocked by another person etc. ? Should these be ignored or reported just like
the internal unexpected errors?
I believe we need to report all errors irrespective of its nature. @ Jasintha :
could you provide you opinion on this?
And when it comes to the development of the proposed plugin, what would be the
most suitable target platform that would be compatible with Developer Studio?
Is it eclipse version 3.5 or higher?
Currently you can test with the latest released developer studio 3.8.0 on top
of Eclipse Luna. We are planning to release Developer studio on Mars in the
near future. We will inform you once the release is ready so that you can do
development on that.

Hi Jasintha,
I am currently working on making a high level architecture diagram for the
proposed tool. I will send it to you asap along with the draft proposal, so you
can give your suggestions about it, whether I am in the right track and if any
improvements need to be done for that.
Meanwhile I encountered with certain issues, that I need a little clarification
about.
I installed Developer Studio to get a basic idea about its plugins and overall
structure. I guess I need not have a detailed understanding about its
functionality for this project, as the project mainly focuses on errors.

Hi Jasintha,
Can I get an idea about the possible errors that might occur in the developer
studio?? And should the error reporting plugin detect WSO2 plugin errors as
well as Eclipse errors?
Basically you should capture all type of errors happen while working with a
Developer studio plugin ,
