Hi everybody,

I am programming an Eclipse plugin to help creating new UNO Components. There is
quite more features than the first time I send you an email. Now the new Uno
project and the new IDL File project wizards are fully implemented.

I am now working on the uno project build integration with the eclipse build
facilities. So in a few days you should be able to build your project to
generate the urd, rdb and Java class files.

As you could imagine, I'll need some tests and returns of the beta testers. For
the moment I could test it on two platforms (Linux and Windows), but I am sure
that I cannot see everything, specially the UI problems. I try to realize this
plugin in the eclipse way of doing things, but I'll be very happy if you tell
me what could be done do have a better plugin.

I'm now working with Juergen Schmidt, but it's time for you to take part to the
project and tell me what you think about it.

You can find the ready-to-install plugin on the CVS:
api/ooeclipseintegration/build/the-only-zip-file-inside. After having fetched
the zip file, unzip it and move the contained jar in the eclipse/plugins
directory of your eclipse installation. Then run eclipse, you should see two
new icons in your toolbar. Otherwise something strange happened (ask if you
have problems).

First thing to do is to set up your SDKs. Open the window->preferences menu
item. Inside select the 'OpenOffice.org plugin'->'SDK Configuration' item and
add your(s) SDK(s).

To create a new Uno project, click on the icon representing a project with a
'U'. This launch the new Uno project wizard. The company prefix is the
beginning of the path to you project (eg: 'org.openoffice' or 'com.<vendor
name>'), the output directory (should be renamed in implementation directory)
is the extension where you should create the implementation classes (usually:
'comp')

To create a new Idl file, click on the icon representing a file with a 'I'.
Select an idl capable folder (a folder with a 'I') and give a name to your
file.

Note when you add a folder to an idl capable folder, it is considered as idl
capable too :-)

In the next version with the project builder, I'll add cheat sheets to help the
new users ;-)

I hope that you will enjoy this new project,
Cedric
