Hi,

First of all i´d like to apologize about possible english mistakes which i
may commit.

I am a just-graduated student from Brasil working at an internet-driven
company called Locaweb (www.locaweb.com.br) developing voip-based solutions.

We work in a small team (6 members) which allow us to use XP as our
methodology. Recurrently we catch ourselves in a situation in which one
member commit
a broken code (with at least one test down); In most cases, the only problem
is that this person has forgotten to run the tests.

Based on that, I am developping a plugin for eclipse, which i´m callign
SafeCommiter (http://code.google.com/p/safecommitter/) which intends to
run Unit and Acceptance tests before a commit is made, allowing the commit
operation if and only if all the tests passed.

The main issues which i´m addressing, in more depth :

- Only run the correct tests . For that i´ve developed a mechanism which
searchs for a given commit the related tests.

-Display the results in a unified report. Here some tests are Junit-Written
and some are TestNG, other are Selenium.

So i intend to give the users a simple view of the passing/failing tests.

Currently i´m on the way to release the 1.0 version, and i´d like to know if
you liked the idea and, if so, if i can host this project as a subproject
from Subclipse or anyting like that, and how to do that.

Besides, It´s the first open-source project that im´m willing to contribute
and that´s why i may sound a little bit confusing.

Hope some good soul can clear my mind.

Thanks in advance.

plz, reply me at luizhenrique.rolim_at_gmail.com
