New Version 0.0.9 - support for implicit components and more


This version adds a Preferences page with options to support drag and drop addition of implicit component declarations to Tapestry templates and an option to allow manual entry of component ids during drag and drop editing.

Tapestry Palette is a plugin for Eclipse which builds upon the Spindle plugin to add drag and drop editing of Tapestry pages.

A new version (0.0.9) of the Tapestry Palette plugin is available. This version adds:

1. Drag and drop creation of implicit Tapestry component references.
2. Manual assignment of component id during drag and drop editing.
3. The Property Sheet supports editing of implicit component bindings.

The plugin can be installed from within Eclipse via the update site at: http://www.mjhenderson.com/updates

The plugin now has a Preferences page (image below) which configures these options. By default, the plugin retains it's previous behavior, component ids are generated automatically and component declarations and bindings are maintained in the specification file. The Web Browser preference is only available under Linux and must be set to a valid path for access to component reference documentation from within the palette's component inspector.





The manual component id generation code was contributed by Alexey Romanchuk. When enabled you will be prompted for a component id value after dragging and dropping a component from the component browser onto a template. This is the first community contribution to the plugin, congratulations Alexey.
