New Version 0.1.0 - Access to remote component libraries from within Eclipse


A new version of the Tapestry Palette Eclipse plugin is available. This version integrates access to remote component libraries from within Eclipse. Libraries can be downloaded and added to a tapestry project by dragging an icon from the palette view onto the application specification file.

This version is the result of a major re-factoring of the code base from one plugin into several so I have placed it on the "unstable" update site at http://tapestrypalette.mjhenderson.com/unstable. Expect some bugs and speed bumps, I intend working on optimizations in the coming weeks.

A Flash movie (1.2MB) tour of the palette is available here .

If you are a Tapestry component library author and wish to find out how to make your library available from the palette, email me at michaelh@mjhenderson.com , or wait a few days and I'll post to this blog.

This version of the plugin is the result of a major re-factoring of the code base. I can now extend the palette by adding new palette data types with their own logic for drag and drop and their own inspectors and icons.

I've also changed the icons to give a more 'Eclipse' feel to them. Some of the icons were donated a few months ago by a palette user, whose email address I have lost (Email me for credit).

The palette has almost all of the features I want to add for now so I will be concentrating on bug-fixes and optimizations over the next few months.
