Doing Reviewsįor the majority of inspection tools reviews have to be created Once the review wizard has been finished, a review file is created within the Eclipse project, which should be commited to share the review configuration with all users. Reveal the update-site and select the ReviewClipse feature and the appropriate Subversion adapter depending on the used Subversion client: Install ReviewClipse by opening the Software Updates dialog in Eclipse, and add the following site to your available update sites: It doesn’t matter if you are using Subversive or Subclipse as Subversion client, both of them will work without problems. Currently ReviewClipse supports only Subversion, but we are working hardly to support several versioning systems in the near future. In order to use ReviewClipse you need at least Eclipse Ganymede (3.4) and a Subversion shared Eclipse project. The review editor aligns with the basic concepts of the Eclipse environment, so the initial training will consume little time. The reviewer uses a special review editor to inspect the changesets, compares different versions of a file with the compare editor, and leaves his rating and optional comments for the commiter of the changeset. So there is no need to setup any server-side application, apart from the already existing Subversion repository. All review data is stored within files, shared with the already configured Subversion repository of your project. Because of its simple design it's possible to initiate the review process on any existing project in a few minutes. ReviewClipse helps developers to review the source code efficiently on a per changeset basis - the item under inspection is one changeset in the revision control system. In the following article I will present an Eclipse integrated code review plug-in, developed at the Vienna University of Technology and presented at the EclipseCon 2009. ![]() Code reviews enhance software quality, so they should always be a part of our daily work. ![]()
