Jeff Butler commented on IBATIS-402: ------------------------------------ No - just moving at open source speed (slow sometimes). As for DTP dependance, that's really a non-starter for me. This will need to be published as a seperate plugin. But I will do some things in Abator to make this easier. The extension point I was talking about related to enabling you to call the Eclipse based Abator generate from another plugin. The main difference is that it would enable you to make use of the Java file merger and the progress bar support from your plugin rather than having to recode them. As for the connection issue...right now Abator ALWAYS creates a connection. Seems to me that if you already have a connection (from DTP), then you could reuse the connection in the generate step and not be required to add the <jdbcConnection> element to an Abator configuration. Regarding creating an XML file or not, I'd encourage you to code the entire configuration in Java, then persist to XML if required. Abator has function now to persist a configuration in XML - so you don't need to worry about generating correct XML. Tis function is in the Abator version in SVN - not released yet. I don't know when I'll have time to get to this, but I do like the idea. > New Wizards to Abator for Eclipse using the DTP packages ... > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: IBATIS-402 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IBATIS-402 > Project: iBatis for Java > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Tools > Environment: eclipse 3.2.2 with DTP > Reporter: Anaximandro de Godinho > Attachments: abatorForEclipsePatch.txt, abatorForEclipsePatch2.txt, > abatorForEclipsePatch3.txt > > > Hello guys, > My name is Woody and I'm newbie.
