Introduction R 4 E is an eclipse sub-project under Mylyn Reviews R 4 E is a review tool fully integrated with Eclipse that can preserve comments at specific line ranges for Java, C/C++ or XML files It will also allow the user to register comments at specific element locations in EMF based models. R 4 E Integrates with Mylyn Versions to allow the review of commits from multiple version control systems, e. g. Git, SVN, using Mylyn versions connectors. It will preserve the commit information to allow multiple reviewers to work in parallel, to quickly select the committed files and navigate through the associated differences. Three types of reviews are available to better adapt to the ways of working in the team: Basic, Informal and Formal (based on IEEE 10282008 Standard for Software Reviews) 2 Review for Eclipse Release Review | © 2012 by Review for Eclipse Committers, made available under the EPL v 1. 0
