Sounds good. I have been on the contrib list since it was first announced and have been following the conversation so far. > In this quarter we have plans to document the process on > source.android.com, create a mailing list specifically for the dev > tools, and (attempt to) create a true community around tools > development as we know there are people out there making 3rd party > tools for android (maven plug-ins, intellij, etc...) who would > probably want better knowledge of what we do and have input on > features and directions. > > The git projects for the tools is > http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/sdk.git;a=summary > (the emulator is in > http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/external/qemu.git;a=summary) Great. As a user of the SDK all day and hacker on the Maven Android plugin here are my wishes: - create an issue tracker that is actually used (NOT the standard android one where reasonable request are ignored or declined) - use the issue tracker internally and externally - put roadmap type features into the issue tracker even if they are just pipe dreams at this stage and have an acutal roadmap for it - work with the community to get all the libraries of the tooling (sdklib.jar and so on) and the sdk (android.jar, maps.jar) into maven central or a google hosted maven repo so that all the other tools can easily pick it up and use it. Thats it for now. I look forward to work with you on some of these. manfred http://www.simpligility.com PS: Should I cross post to contrib? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
