[xwiki-dev] XWiki-Eclipse-Plugin-M2

[Vincent Massol]

Hi Tharindu/Asiri,

Great job! I think it's time to try integrating your code in our  
source tree and start doing some code review of it to verify it's  
using XWiki's coding best practices.

I propose the following:
- Tomorrow I create a xwiki-extensions module for xwiki extensions  
and I drop your latest sources (1.0.1) in SVN
- I start a vote to give both Asiri and you write access to it
- I create a separate jira project for it

WDYT?

I've started using your plugin and I can already see several killer  
features in the future:

* Defaults to using the Veloedit editor (http::// 
veloedit.sourceforge.net). When right clicking a document in the  
navigation, there should be an "open with" menu with "Simple  
Editor" (the current editor you have) or "Velocity Editor" (or  
"Groovy Editor" for the future - There's a groovy plugin for eclipse).

* Allow navigation directly to a page when hitting a shortcut or  
right-clicking in a internal link in the editor window. This can be  
easily implemented with the DocumentParser and LinkParser classes  
(about 5-10 lines of code)

* Offer a XAR export view in addition to the "print" view in the  
simple editor. Note: before we can do this we need to create a URL  
for this in xwiki platform. This would make it easy to develop new  
pages and save them in XWiki's source tree

Thanks
-Vincent
