Current development is dedicated to Bazel workspaces with Java rules. The 1.x release line is focused on:
- Basic features of Java editing (code completion, incremental compilation, launching programs, debugging, etc)
- Correctness of the Bazel-derived classpath
- Scalability and performance
- Gradually reducing certain package file layout restrictions.
The 2.x release line will work towards adding Bazel specific features to Eclipse:
- BUILD file editor
- Automatic dependency management
- Support for more complex Java package layouts
Support for languages other than Java will likely not appear prior to 3.x.
To find planned features, known technical debt and known bugs that need work, please look at:
- BEF project management
- Bazel Java SDK project management
- TODO comments in the code base; smaller ideas are tracked using simple TODO comments
Full history and credit is explained in the history and credit document.
