It is getting increasingly difficult for myself and others to test the
Eclipse plugin due to a lack of documentation. There appear to be a
great many classes that are present but not actually working as yet.
However, it is difficult to see if this is a bug or in progress work.
Can we please have documentation for working features and issues for
non-working features so that we can proceed to test and give sensible
feedback. I think it is very important that now you have got a
reasonable amount of code working we give you timely feedback.
The best way to do the documentation is to add relevant pages to the
site-author section of SVN and, as new features are added these
documents are updated with a note and, where appropriate, a screenshot.
For example:
Site Navigation Editor
======================
The site navigation editor is enabled by:
Window -> Show View -> Other... -> Forrest -> SiteXML -> OK
This will open a new view. Now, when you select a Forrest project in the
navigator view you will see the site.xml file represented as a tree in
this view:
(screenshot)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In this documentation you can add notes about "in progress" work using
our <fixme author="..."> element, for example:
Locationmap Editor
==================
=====
FIXME
=====
The locationmap editor is not yet fully oprational. You can display the
view, but the locationmap file is not yet loaded when you select a
Forrest project.
