Interested in helping a research study on Eclipse?

[Mohsen Vakilian <mv...@illinois.edu>]

Hi

I'm Mohsen Vakilian, a PhD student working with Prof. Ralph Johnson at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). Ralph is a co-author of 
the seminal book on design patterns (GoF) and his research group has a history of important contributions to IDE's.

Our team [1] is studying how developers interact with the Eclipse IDE for evolving and maintaining their code. We noticed that the Ant build file of 
Tomcat <http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/trunk/build.xml> generates Eclipse project files. So, we assume that some of the contributors of 
Tomcat who are on this mailing list use Eclipse. Therefore, we'd like to invite you to contribute to the future of Eclipse by participating in our research 
study.

To participate you should be at least 18 years old and use the Eclipse IDE for Java development. As a participant, we ask that you complete a short 
survey and install our Eclipse plug-in called CodingSpectator [2].

CodingSpectator monitors programming interactions non-intrusively in the background and periodically uploads it to a secure server at UIUC. To get a 
representative perspective of how you interact with Eclipse, we would appreciate if you could install CodingSpectator for two months. Rest assured that 
we are taking the utmost measures to protect your privacy and confidentiality.

If you are interested, you may sign up at <http://codingspectator.cs.illinois.edu/ConsentForm>, which contains our consent form with all the details and 
procedures of our research study.

Your participation will help us greatly as we try to better understand how developers interact with their IDE's so we can propose improvements which fit 
better with their mindsets.

Thanks in advance for your time! Please do not hesitate to contact me (mvakili2@illinois.edu) if you have any questions or comments. More information 
can also be found at our FAQ [3]. Feel free to forward this invitation to anyone who might be interested in participating in this study.

Hi,

We're happy to announce that CodingSpectator now supports Eclipse
Indigo (3.7) -- the latest version of Eclipse.

We are looking for more participants. Your participation in our study
will help to keep the Eclipse platform innovative. If you couldn't
participate in the study because you had to use Indigo, you can now
install CodingSpectator.

If you are interested, please sign up at
<http://codingspectator.cs.illinois.edu/ConsentForm> to participate in
our study.

We are thankful to those of you who have already participated in our study.

Regards,
Mohsen Vakilian
