Re: [jug-discussion] Eclipse question
I have a book at home titled "Contributing to Eclipse: Principles, Patterns, and Plugins". It was written by Eric Gamma and Kent Beck. So far, I've only read the intro and part of the first chapter but, based on that small sample, it looks like a thorough example-driven explanation of the plugin development process. William H.

Shucks, caught by the reply-to. I meant to send direct to Vincent... Tim, for the plugin help a lot depends on what you want to do in your plugin. There are some related articles linked from the Eclipse site, including one on the PDE (Plugin Development Environment): http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-PDE-does-plugins/PDE-intro.html The actual PDE documentation included with Eclipse covers the basics (Help/Help Contents/Platform Plug-in Developers Guide and PDE Guide), and with the wizards provided it's easy to create basic plugins of several flavors. I've found the learning curve gets very steep once you're past the basics, though, especially if you're picky about how you want things to work. On the book topic, I've got the "Eclipse: Building Commercial-Quality Plug-ins" one. It looks pretty good to me, though I haven't dived into the in-depth plugin development parts yet. - Dennis - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Crikey. No shortcuts for me. :-( I probably won't have finished reading the doc before Simon returns. ;-) > For your CVS issue, you might try the Filters option on Yeah, already did that. ;-) "The filter by name *.CVS did the trick too, but again, seems like I might be missing something.

Thanks... it's really kind of odd. I'd check the project out directly with Eclipse... except I'd like to be able to use any editor/ide interchangeably, and I have a LOT of projects already checked out that I would like to leverage.

Andy hit the nail on the head. I did exactly that, checked it out with WinCVS, then imported it into Eclipse. So I tried the Team sharing... Eclipse automagically determined the CVS server settings, allows me to update from the repository. :-) But -- it didn't make the .CVS packages go away in the Package explorer. :-( It took me a little bit, but I found that the change flag ">" and "(ASCII -kkv)" at the end are configurable in the Team preferences.

I think as long as the project is shared, eclipse won't show .CVS. The only time you'll see them if i'm right is if you check out a project from cvs using a cvs client other than eclipse and create an eclipse project based on those files. Tim, if that's basically how you ended up with your project, you'll probably want to right click on your project, team -> sharing and enter your cvs information or something along those lines. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Vincent, Not sure if we've met or not - I'm up in Seattle, but get down to Tucson periodically. I'll be there for this month's meeting for a short presentation on SWT. Two things caught my attention in your reply: I'm interested in what people are doing with SWT/Plugins, and also in moving to New Zealand. It's unclear from your reply if Simon is with your company or you just know him, but if it's the same company can you tell me anything about the work you're doing with SWT/Plugins, and also if you have business contacts with New Zealand?

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.--- Begin Message --- 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. 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?
