| | {{Moved_to_dev_docs}} |
| | |
| | |
| This project is about creating a Moodle integrated development environment (IDE), based on [http://www.eclipse.org/ Eclipse], so that new developers can begin developing Moodle in less time.
| |
| | |
| Ideas:
| |
| | |
| * First release: Eclipse + Plugins + Moodle splashscreen + CVS Configuration + Apache + MySQL + Moodle CVS code. All preconfigured and ready out of the box.
| |
| * Moodle project will automatically packs the Moodle version that is downloaded by the user
| |
| * Check style plug-in alike to follow [https://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Coding Moodle Design Guidelines].
| |
| * Development help (can be wiki pages to navigate offline)
| |
| | |
| | |
| ==Moodle IDE==
| |
| | |
| | |
| === Eclipse ✔ ===
| |
| Selecting the base of the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is one of the most important thing because it will be the key of the development process. I decided to start out with the latest version of [http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/ PHPeclipse].
| |
| | |
| * '''T1''' Develop an Eclipse wizard that will automatically extract the Moodle and XAMPP zip files to create a Moodle project. If the user has already XAMPP installed, then the user should be able to specify the XAMPP .htdocs path
| |
| | |
| === Splashscreen ✔ ===
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Moodle-current.jpg]]
| |
| | |
| === CVS ✔ ===
| |
| CVS plug-ins is already built into Eclipse. The discussion about this is that if there are too many X times of checking the new version of the Moodle and packs it, then there will be a huge server loads, with the addition that not everybody would want to always packs the new version when it's been released. So, creating plug-ins to bridge the user interface and the CVS script is one way that I think is more appropriate, but I'd like to do some more research on the CVS behavior.
| |
| | |
| * '''T1''' Research the behavior of CVS in Eclipse
| |
| | |
| === Apache + MySQL ✔ ===
| |
| * [http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html XAMPP] for Windows
| |
| This Windows version will be the first one that will be packed out of the box with the Moodle IDE.
| |
| | |
| * '''T1''' Configure the XAMPP plug-in for Moodle IDE
| |
| | |
| === Plug-ins ✔ ===
| |
| * [http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/ Checkstyle 4.4]
| |
| * '''T1''' Create a checkstyle template that follows [https://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Coding Moodle Design Guidelines].
