Eclipse Advanced Scripting Environment (Eclipse EASE™) 0.1.0

0.1.0

Description

First project release. Adds script support to the IDE supporting JavaScript. Adds script UI integration to bind scripts to toolbars and menus.

API Certification

The project leadership certifies that the APIs in this release are "Eclipse Quality".

Architectural Issues

This is the first release. As we are in an incubator state the API is not stable yet.

Security Issues

Scripts may be consumed from external resources (like http). As such scripts run in the context of the local JRE they are a potential security risk.

However launching such scripts depends on a manual user interaction.

For future releases we plan to add security mechanisms like signing scripts or disabling external scripts.

Non-Code Aspects

User documentation is rather limited. We have some beginner guides in the Wiki, but we are lacking eclipse help topics. This will be targeted in a future release.
