Eclipse Plugin Progress

[Greg Murray-5]

Hi all,

I have started to do the same that Ludo / Peter did for the Netbeans  
plugin where I have made the plugin generic so it can run as a static  
HTML project in Eclispe.

If you want to give it a try you need to in Eclipse 3.4 :

1) Create a New  "Facet Project"
2) Add "Static Web Project" and "jMaki Ajax Plugin (HTML)"

That is it! Now when you do your drops in the page the correct HTML  
tags will be included in the head of the document (if present).

I still have found the drag a little buggy where it is replacing too  
much text. Ludo maybe you have an idea on this?

I also am running out of memory a lot when I use the Java EE version  
which requires "Java" + "Dynamic Web Project" + "jMaki Ajax (JavaEE)"

I suspect it is in the copy util code which I also made a little more  
generic so it can support both project types.

To Do:

1) Add a wizard to allow for additional jMaki libraries - This will be  
a little bit of a challenge given we will need to re-write the  
plugin.xml / or reload (Ludo : any ideas might be helpful)
2) Enable the jMaki templates for plain old HTML
3) Make sure there are HTML templates for all widgets.
4) Create a getting started document given the Project creation is  
different with Eclipse 3.4

Given the large number of downloads we are having even with the  
current Eclipse I suspect we will get lots of usage. It would be great  
if I could get a some volunteers to try the code out early.

Let me know if you are interested.

-Greg

Hey Greg,

I'll be happy to try it out and, as always, blog :)

Is it the standard jMaki plugin ?
