<br><br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>Dear all,<br><br>I&#39;ve been working on the refactoring of XEclipse and it is almost<br>ready for release.<br>
<br>There are several high and low level enhancements:<br><br>1) The UI has been partially rewritten by leveraging Eclipse framework<br>APIs.<br>Things now are a lot simpler at the code level. There are also some UI<br>restyling to make it nicer/more functional.
<br><br>2) Offline support has been rewritten and now it works fine. It<br>seamlessly caches pages, and detects conflicts when there<br>have been remote modifications. The offline API is pretty simple and<br>well documented and should allow for future extensions hopefully
<br>without too many problems (e.g., using an embedded XWiki as cache<br>storage).<br><br>4) An Eclipse RCP shell for building and using XEclipse as a<br>standalone application has been added.<br><br>There are still some minor things missing like commands for creating/
<br>removing pages/spaces and some editor-synchronization logic. But this<br>is easy to implement and I&#39;ll do it tomorrow. Some documentation of<br>non-critical parts is also missing.<br><br>I would say that we can schedule a release on Monday.
<br><br>In the meanwhile I invite you to build your own copy of XEclipse and<br>try it out.<br>In order to compile XEclipse do the following:<br><br>1) cd TEMP_DIR; svn co <a href="http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-extensions/xwiki-eclipse/trunk/" target="_blank">
http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-extensions/xwiki-eclipse/trunk/</a><br> &nbsp;xeclipse<br>2) Download xeclipse-target-platform.tar.gz [1] from <a href="http://www.xwiki.org/fabio/xeclipse-target-platform.tar.gz" target="_blank">
http://www.xwiki.org/fabio/xeclipse-target-platform.tar.gz</a><br> &nbsp;and unpack it in TEMP_DIR/xeclipse<br>3) Go to TEMP_DIR/xeclipse/plugins/org.xwiki.xeclipse.rcp and follow<br>the instructions in README.maven<br><br>At the end of the process you should obtain a .zip with XEclipse
<br>compiled and packaged for your platform.<br>Unzip it wherever you want and launch the XEclipse binary.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Fabio<br><br>[1] This is of course a temporary location. Probably the target<br>platform will be moved to the maven repository and downloaded directly
<br>from there by tweaking a bit the pom.xml<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>devs mailing list<br><a href="mailto:devs@xwiki.org">devs@xwiki.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs" target="_blank">
