Requesting help from Java programmer

[Mattn]

hi - and welcome

menu scripts have the highest priority at the moment.

[RudolfoWood]

I have to say that I started working on EMFText plugins since my last post here, but did not put anything into svn yet. I really should do that as I have syntax for many of the most-needed scripts (e.g. research, item) ready, currently working on the most-wanted gui part (which is imo the most difficult one).

[Mattn]

if you add this to the svn - please also add an article to the wiki how to install and use it. thanks a lot for the work you put into this. i think that will really help us to clean things up and find hidden bugs.

i'm new Java coder , could i help with this project?

If you know a == b is not the same as a.equals(b), maybe you can help

It can take some time until you get an 'real' answer here...  
/joke off

I saw RudolfoWood was active here some 10 days ago the last time & I know mattn has quite some coding stress @ the moment, so I would suggest that you simply check out & learn everything referenced to in this thread, so you can start fully prepared & know about problems & stuff.
I suggest looking into the wiki also as it is always good to know how this whole stuff works, even those parts you do not want to touch or which are not related to Java directly...

hi again!
wiki are really a big source of information, in particular this topic http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/UFO-Scripts/ui/*.ufo is up-to-date or old ? It's seems really important about menu/compiling topic

[MCR]

The wiki can be hard, I know that 

But eventually you will find your information there in most of the cases... We are all trying to keep info there up-to-date, but with fast progression of things it is not always possible...

You should try this wiki pages instead:

http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/UFO-Scripts/ui/*.ufo

http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/UI_node_behaviours

[Mattn]

wiki should be up-to-date

[Marte]

hi again!
I've added a little page on wiki, here:

http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Script_syntax_coloring

where I explain syntax coloring with Notepad++, think could be useful from starting point for this project?

[bayo]

Not a lot of devs use Windows, i think. Anyway it can be very useful for some people. Thanks.

[Marte]

You can use Notepad++ for linux using wine (read from Notepad++ forums)

But why would you want to?

I know I did not put anything into svn yet. Most parts of what I actually did for the EMFText plugins needs little java knowledge - almost all code is generated.
I told mattn that I think it would not be worth working with that plugins before 2.3 as they would need adjustments in script names here and there. I even don't know whether it is worth to wait for EMFText developers to switch parser engine (I know they are working on it) to have less need for script adjustments.

sorry but i didn't understand why you don't commit your work ?
