The ATF team has been given approval to package XULRunner on eclipse. so
we have repackaged the last milestone with a some fixes/enhancements and
declared a new milestone (Milestone 4). The biggest change is a changed
in how ATF is package.
Packaging Changes
ATF All-In-Ones
The ATF All-In-One zip files provide an Web Development environment that
includes the base Eclipse Platform runtime, Web Standard Tools, and ATF.
Eclipse features which are not needed for Web Development such has JDT,
J2EE, etc. have been removed. The builds also contain the ATF dependencies
such as XULRunner and JavaXPCOM. Just download the version of ATF for your
platform, unzip/untar the build into a directory, cd in to the eclipse
directory and run eclipse. The intent of the All-In-One is to provide
better experience for the Web Developer. One of the complaints that the
ATF team received was to that there were too many options unrelated to Web
Development available in the Eclipse SDK with WTP. The team has also
received comments that the large size of the Eclipse SDK with WTP
download. We would like to hear comments from users on this smaller
package intended for Web Developers.
The ATF team would like to thank the WTP and EMF teams which made changes
that allowed this package to be built,
Unzip package
ATF is now providing the usual unzip packages that are typically provided
by eclipse projects. Two unzip packages are being provided, one for WST
and one for WTP (WST and JST). These packages include the ATF dependencies
such as XULRunner and JavaXPCOM.
Site Archive Zip
The Archive Site zip file for installing ATF is still being provided. In
the future this option may be removed. The ATF team would like to hear
from the community as to whether we should continue building the Site
Archive Zip.
Enhancements
A new menu option to add JSDT support to an existing Project such as a PHP
Project. Just right click on the project and select "Web Development
Tools>>Add JavaScript Support". This will allow JSDT functionality for
HTML and JavaScript files in a PHP Project. JSDT functionality for
JavaScript in a PHP file will take additional changes. The ATF JavaScript
debugger and the PHP debugger also haven't been integrated.
