Re: [jug-discussion] Eclipse question
I think you are thinking of Simon -- he's the man that knows about writing Plugins and using SWT. Unfortunately he is off to New Zealand for a couple weeks, so it looks like you get to read that big PDF. For your CVS issue, you might try the Filters option on Package Explorer title bar pull down menu (the little down arrow). It has a bunch of options to control the types of resources that display. I have searched my configuration and don't see anything special that I have set up to exclude the CVS files, but they do not show on my system.---BeginMessage--- So after a bit of work, I've got Eclipse 3.0 running, compiling and building the TimTam plugin. I've got some newbie questions which I'm sure Vince will be happy to answer. grin Is there a way to magically hide all of the *.CVS entries in the src tree? Note: I created a working set, but that seems like the long way around. The filter by name *.CVS did the trick too, but again, seems like I might be missing something. I looked in the preferences:Team:CVS but found no love there. Is there a quick and dirty tutorial on creating plug-ins so I can start to understand this code without reading the 979 page PDF on plug-in development?

Re: [jug-discussion] I've always wondered... [element names inclosing tags in XML]
If you are concerned about size, compress it. The Zip classes use a compression algorithm that assigns tokens to commonly occuring strings. The net result is compression of a database represented in XML tends to give incredible compression rates as it takes all of those long repeated tags and compresses them to small tokens. I use zip compression for a database we transfer using XML, and regularly achieve 90%+ compression. One example is a 26M XML document that compresses to 933k. In fact, the compressed version of the XML takes less storage than the original database. You could also easily write a Filter to convert to and from your / tag format. I think the idea of abbreviated end tags has some merit, and I can see cases where I would prefer it. William H.

One answer is that the document is not well-formed and there's no way to determine what it should be. Another is that a / tag would simply close the nearest unclosed element. By that, it's the a that's not matched. Based on a few samples I've observed that element names in closing tags typically amount to 10-30% of the text in an XML document that's a database of some sort, like a catalog. That strikes me as a significant amount of overhead, but that's of course good news for hardware manufacturers... :) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [jug-discussion] Eclipse Tips and Tricks
In Eclipse, you would accomplish the same thing by clicking on the yellow quick fix thingy that it puts in the margin to the left of the statement. It will present a menu of possible fixes, including adding an import statement or qualifying the name. You can also highlight the class name, right click and select Source-Add Import. At risk of starting a flame war, you can also use the organize imports function the same menu to put your imports in a particular sequence. In the Java preferences, you can also specify a number of classes from any package that it will use before it inserts a * import. Mine is set to 1 - since I LIKE * imports. Here's some of my favorites that I use daily: - Ctrl-Space for syntax assist. - Templates: enter for and hit Ctrl-Space and you get a list of possible completions, including iteratate over an array, iterate over and array with a temporary variable, and iterate over a collection. If you pick one of these, it inserts the appropriate code for you. - Shift Right and Shift left from the Source menu will shift the code you have selected. - All of the cvs functions - especially the way it displays differences between you code and the repository. - Right click on a class in the packages view and you get some pretty cool options. I especially like Generate getter and setter and override methods. With the Override methods function, all you need to do to add shells for the required methods for an interface is to add the interface to the implements list on the class and select override methods. - The extract method refactoring function lets you highlight some code and extract it to another method. It automatically detects the required parameters. Even if you don't finish the refactoring, this lets you very easily determine the inputs and outputs from any block of code. - In the source, highlight a method name, class name, or variable - right click and select Open Declaration and it will open the approraite class or method for editing. - Highlight code and right-click to surround with try-catch block to generate a try-catch block that catches any checked exceptions that code can throw. - All of the search functions from the context menu are awesome. Like finding all references to a method while working on that method. BTW - they are VERY fast. There are keyboard accelerators for most of these things, but I am a mouse type of guy. Ray Ramos wrote: Hello All, As a new Eclipse user, along with many others in this JUG, I was hoping I could get some tips from the more expearienced users. For example, in NetBeans, if you forget to import a class, put the cursor on the class name in your source code, press shft-alt-I, and NetBeans will insert an import statement. Very handy. I'm hoping to do the same with Eclipse so that I can upgrade it from 'way cool' to 'super dope' and everyone using Eclipse in the JUG can get a little more productive.

Re: [jug-discussion] Eclipse Stupidity Continues!
Just unpack at the root of your eclipse install (c:\eclipse) using folders and it will install itself into the proper plugin folders. You might need to restart the IDE before it takes effect. It is a pretty well hidden project. Basically, it will add an XML Editor that is linked by default to any .xml files in the file associations. One gotcha is that eclipse tends to remember the last editor you used to open something, so it might fall-back to the text editor when you double-click an xml file you have opened before. Either way, if you right-click and select Open With, you should see an XML editor as an option. Once you get it installed, you might want to consider setting file associations for *.htm and *.htm to the XML editor since it will then colorize you HTML nicely. For some reason *.htm? doesn't work. I haven't looked at the help since 2.0 came out, so it must not have changed. The help has always been more focused on developers of Eclipse than users. Lesiecki Nicholas wrote: Hello, sorry to bother the group with newbie questions, but the Eclipse help seems to primarily be designed for Eclipse developers. Ok, so I'm trying to install the solareclipse plugin, and I've tried tossing it in the root of the eclipse install and also the plugins folder, no success. So I tried using the update manager which instructs me to type in a web address to search for plugins on. The sourceforge page for solareclipse (http://sourceforge.net/projects/solareclipse/) did not turn up new plugins. The eclipse doccos all concern themselves with what to do after finding an update site, so if someone could point me at the exact URL I need from solareclipse to make the IDE happy I'd appreciate it.

Re: [jug-discussion] Eclipse - was RE: [jug-discussion] Second time a charm
It might be obvious, but I missed it for several weeks... You should also create file associations in Eclipse (Window-preferences-Workbench-File Associations) mapping *.htm and *.html to the XML editor to get colorized HTML source.

Since there seem to be a number of people trying out Eclipse right now. I thought it might be useful to post some of the preference settings I use. There are quite a lot of preferences and they can really alter the look and behaviour of the product. Everyone has their own way of configuring these things, but perhaps seeing the possibilities will help. Also, I would recommend installing the solar eclipse plug-in for editing XML. You can find it at http://sourceforge.net/projects/solareclipse/. It's a simple colorizing editor, but it is better than the default editor. The preferences pane is found under the menu WindowPreferences. The following refer to the individual preference panes: Workbench-Label Decorations-CVS: checked This displays the CVS revision number (and other attributes) of each file in the workspace. A '' is placed by default in front of changed files. Use Team-CVS-Label Decorations to control what decorators are used. External Tools-Ant-Jars: Add the jar 'c:\eclipse\workspace\Workspace Extensions\amoanttask.jar'. This is where you can add jar files containing your own Ant tasks. Java-Code Formatter-Line Splitting-Maximum Line Length: 160 I hate the default of 80 - but that's just me. Java-Compiler-Errors and WarningsUsage of deprecated API: Ignore Some programmers prefer not to see the deprecated warnings. Java-Organize Imports-Number of qualified imports before .* is used: 1 This causes Eclipse to always use .* at the end of qualified import statements. By default this value is 99 so you get a separate import statement for every class referred to. Team-CVS-Label Decorations-Indicate is outgoing: not checked Team-CVS-Label Decorations-Indicate has remote: not checked Team-CVS-Label Decorations-Indicate is added: not checked These settings make the icons used in the package view a little easier to understand. There are other defaults in the Java Perspective I change too. 1. I close the Outline View - I don't use it. 2. On the packages view I click the 'hide fields' button at the top of the view. I also change the filters on the package view to hide referenced libraries - I'm not interested in seeing which jar files a project uses. 3. On the Tasks view I change the filter to only show items 'on any resource in same project'. This allows me to only see errors and warnings a project at a time.
