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

  We have completed work allocated for Milestone-2 of
XWiki-Eclipse-
 Plugin (+ more).
 
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1361
 Implemented Features:
 - view existing pages (as xwiki markup or browser output)
 - edit xwiki markup (using TextEditor widget in eclipse)
 - save edited content
 Although we encountered some problems as well,
 - We couldn't prepare the pom.xml file such that maven produces a
 deployable plugin component. Eclipse needs the plugin jar file to
 have a specific format and maven enforces a different format, we're
 still struggling to get it right (need some help). Although
 compilation and other stuff or quite ok.
 - Eventhough the edited XWiki Markup can be saved, the output(in
 browser) does not reflect changes untill we restart XWiki. Is there
 a way to forcefully flush the cache ? can this be done remotely ?
 All comments are welcome!
 Thanks a lot!!!
 - Tharindu & Asiri
