Making scalastyle-plugin available in the Scala IDE ecosystem

[dotta]

Hi Matthew, would you be interested in making your plugin available in the Scala IDE ecosystem?

You never heard of the Scala IDE ecosystem? The idea is really simple, we want to provide a central locations for plugins relevant for Scala development inside Eclipse. We officially launched the service last week (25th of July), and for the moment it includes the Scala IDE and the ScalaTest plugin. It would be truly great if we could include the scalastyle plugin!

If you are interested, the process for being included in the ecosystem is really simple (and quick). You can read the details here. And, of course, we can help out. Just drop us a note in the scala-ide-dev ML if needed.

If you want to read a bit more about the Scala IDE ecosystem, here is the announcement and here is the (rather essential for the moment) page on our website.

Matthew, do you have an opinion about this?

I do have an opinion, and it is that I want to be part of it. What would be the next move?

Nice! You only need to create a pull request in the scala-ide ecosystem project and provide the update-site for scalastyle. Follow the how: https://github.com/scala-ide/ecosystem#how-to-add-your-plugins-to-the-sites
