Support for downloading component library dependencies


The latest unstable version (0.1.8) of the Tapestry Palette now supports Component library dependencies. The library supplier can declare a list of dependent library jar files for a component library. When the component library is dragged from the palette onto the application specification editor the component library and it's dependencies are all downloaded to the WEB-INF/lib folder and added to the project build path.

The latest version can be downloaded from within Eclipse from the update site at:

http://tapestrypalette.mjhenderson.com/unstable

New Version 0.1.8 - XTile Ajax Component Library available via Tapestry Palette


The web is abuzz with developments using client side Javascript and XMLHttpRequest (aka Ajax) to develop richer web interfaces. It looks like MindBridge has implemented Ajax functionality for Tapestry and posted it on t-deli.com .

A new version of the palette, version 0.1.8, can be downloaded from the unstable update site at:

http://tapestrypalette.mjhenderson.com/unstable

This version adds the XTile component library to the Repositories folder so you can install the library by dragging it from the palette tree and dropping it onto your application specification. The library will be downloaded to WEB-INF/lib and added to the project build path and the specification file edited to include the library declaration. You can start using the XTile component as soon as the drop operation is complete.

I just checked the ratings at http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com and the Tapestry Palette has made it into the top 15. Spindle is in there as well. Thanks to all those who rated the palette. I'm looking forward to the first third-party libraries coming on line on the palette soon.

Unstable moved to stable


I still see the 0.0.9 version of the plugin being downloaded from the stable updates site. Since this version will not work with the latest Spindle version I have copied the unstable update site to the stable update site at http://www,mjhenderson.com/updates

Updates sites and Spindle versions


I have noticed in my web stats reports that versions are being downloaded from both the updates and unstable directories. If you do download from the updates site you will only be able to work with Spindle version 3.1.15 (Tapestry version 3.01). If you have Spindle 3.1.17 (Tapestry version 3.02) installed you must use the plugin from the unstable update site in order to use the drag and drop editing features of the palette.

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.
