DPS909 and OSD600 Winter 2009 Eclipse WTP Summary

Introduction

Through direct involvement in Eclipse WTP project, students were introduced to technical, social and pragmatic aspects of developing open source software. Students worked under the guidance of Seneca professor Jordan Anastasiade, alongside Seneca professor Peter Liu, and within the Eclipse Community to identify, reproduce, and fix bugs from the Eclipse Bugs database. Students were encouraged to contribute to the community in any way they can. This could involve writing code to fix bugs, testing solutions, contributing to a bug fix or developing tutorials. Winter 2009 was the first time run through of DPS909 and OSD600 with Eclipse WTP. This page reflects a summary of the work done during the course and students' accomplishments.
