Hi Peter,
Is there a description of what you are working on that has any more
details than: http://wiki.apache.org/general/SummerOfCode2006? I
couldn't find anything else.
Please bear in mind that while I'm a mentor, I actually haven't worked
on JCI (yet), just Maven, so there's every chance I don't understand how
it works and you can feel free to tell me I'm wrong :)

Dear JCI developers,
I'm Google SOC applied student, working on jci. Let's see what I made for
current
moment, fell free to comment and aks questions.
Is there some code we can see for these?
I'd generally recommend making small, incremental changes through a
series of small patches. That way you can get your work reviewed (and
applied!) sooner, and if anything needs changes or it's going in the
wrong direction, there's less impact.
Implementation of support file-based compilers in jci is my main task now.
To example
my approach I implicated support of javac (currently call only). I used
javasist
library to replace file-working classes with my proxis. It's seems this
approch
would work fine for every java-based java compiler. Yep, I know that
javasist is
pretty fat and slow, but it's only technological preview, and I hope
implication
would become more satisfactory in future. And of course, unavailability of
fork-call, remain main problem of this approach.
While I think I understand what you are doing here, the original
assumption was to use the code in Maven as a starting point. Was there a
reason not to do this? Javac is completely implemented there.
Support of maven is my second goal. It's pretty simple, and I already
developed
main part of maven plugin. But problem of abstract configuration of
jci-compilers
isn't steal solved. As you know, now every jci-compiler has own
configuration
class, in the other hand we have only one compiler-configuration format in
plexys. So, you can see what shall we aim to.
I'm just seeing now that the original description would have been
misleading - it's not desirable to write a new compiler plugin, but
instead to integrate commons-jci into the existing one (instead of the
plexus compiler).
Looking forward to hearing more about your work!
Cheers,
Brett
