Short Movie - Integrating remote tapestry component libraries


This short Flash movie shows a work in progress. I have re-factored the palette plugin code to make it easy to add new palette object types with their own inspectors and drag and drop behavior. The first new types I have added are local, un-installed component libraries (contrib) and remote component libraries. The new types display information about the remote library and the library supplier, with links to the supplier home page and the component reference documentation. You can drag the remote library icon onto an application specification editor to add the library to the project. The palette will download the library JAR file to the project WEB-INF/lib directory and add it to the Eclipse project classpath. If you have broadband internet access you can be using the library components in your pages in a matter of seconds. Click the 'Read More' link to view the movie


The movie:



I hope to complete testing and get a version for public use in the next 2-3 days. For now I hope that the movie will stimulate discussion and foster more publishing of component libraries.
