Eclipse SCAVA: Helping software developers select the right open source components
Speakers: Philippe Krief, Eclipse Foundation; Boris Baldassari, castalia solutions.
When: Sunday May 26th, 14h00 to 17h00
Where: ETS Centech

  • Have you ever tried to find an open source component for a particular requirement in your project? Today, in GitHub alone, 36 million people share 100 million repositories.
  • Which of these components will meet your requirements for quality and sustainability?
  • Which one is maintained by a reliable, friendly and supportive community?
  • Which one provides similar APIs to a library you use and with a license that is compatible with your code?

    • Eclipse SCAVA aims to analyze and extract knowledge from open source projects and their resources, such as bugs, forums or documentation, in order to provide a set of metrics and criteria to help the developer pursue their goal - to find the right component.

    During this tour, we will briefly introduce the research project and its concepts. You will be able to get your hands on a working, pre-populated knowledge database to use some of the following metrics and recommendations:

  • Display data insights in a Kibana web dashboard
  • Access recommendations from the Eclipse plugin
  • Retrieve everything from the REST APIs in a machine-readable format
  • Import the data and play with it in your favourite spreadsheet tool

    • We will conclude our tour with a “call for action” inviting the public to join Eclipse SCAVA's emerging open source community.
