A Free Continuous Code-Review Plugin for Eclipse

Benefits & Features

The tight integration of the review plug-in into the Eclipse development environment helps the developer to accept the review task as his daily work, like debugging or re-factoring. Because of its simple design it’s possible to initiate the review process on any existing project in a few minutes. All review data is stored within files, shared with the already configured subversion repository of your project. So there is no need to setup any server-side application, apart from the already existing subversion repository. 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 committer of the changeset. The review editor aligns with the basic concepts of the Eclipse environment, so the initial training will consume little time. Here are some features of ReviewClipse:

• Easy to use review editor
• Easy installation and configuration, no server-side application needed
• Flexible Author/Reviewer assignments, supporting different types of reviewing (Peer vs. Master)
• Assignments may be scheduled within periods, supporting review iterations
• Re-use of the Compare-Editor to show file differences between revisions
• Enhanced Review-Editor to manage assignments and code reviews
