=== Notes ===

* [http://www.eclipse.org/atf/ ATF project] is open
** [http://www.eclipse.org/atf/newsgroup/index.php Newsgroup] and [http://www.eclipse.org/atf/listserv/index.php mailing list] available

* Remote debugging and inspection using Java RMI
** Demonstrated a simple "click me" prompt launched from Eclipse, run by separate Firefox process

* Have Google SOC contributors that want to help
** Want to integrate XUL IDE development (EclipseXUL)
** Need to identify who is going to be officially mentoring

* XUL IDE work being done by Phil Berkland - early work-in-progress, code being checked into Laszlo repo: org.eclipse.laszlo.xul in CVS?

* JSD Issues
** code sometimes (important times) assumes that's it's being called from a JS context stack
** JSD doesn't expose stepping, you get a callback for each call invocation which ends up with lots of hackery to determine if a callback is occuring in the same codeflow as the last callback
** Some smaller JS engine bugs, bug 326580 for example
** Need some JSD API redesign and cleanup -- need to identify resources (summer interns?)

* Have preliminary Java component loader, want to do an extension release for the branches (implementing nsIComponentLoader)
** need to port to trunk nsIModuleLoader
** ASM.objectweb.org released code under BSD license that does class/interface generation on the fly... want to import this code and release it under a contrib/ directory somewhere; need to contact the author to detemine originality of code
