Welcome to the Eclipse Assignment Submitter, part of the WPI Environment Built For Object-Oriented Teams (WEBFOOT).
Webfoot is an on-going project that delivers several tools to help teams collaborate. The project, while targeted to academic users, may be useful for any organization where team members need to collaborate. Webfoot intends to integrate existing software tools, such as Eclipse, SourceForge, and others that are commonly used by software development teams into a unified environment that can be easily customized, extended, and adapted for the specific team or organization's use. Webfoot is an open source project hosted at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). You can find out more about the project, obtain the current release, and other information at the Webfoot home page.
The Webfoot development environment is an umbrella project with the goal to provide collaborative tools for distributed software development teams specifically in the academic setting. Through the use of the Eclipse IDE, Webfoot is able to integrate Eclipse with different collaborative development environments such as SourceForge. The Webfoot project offers artifact and task management, communication and other collaboration tools. The Eclipse Assignment Submitter is an example of one project under this wide spectrum. The Assignment Submitter is an Eclipse plug-in that will interface with potentially any server to simplify the assignment completion and submission process for both students and faculty. Within the submitter tool, users are able to retrieve and submit assignments that have been assigned.
