Thanks for the comments Doug; it is always appreciated to hear what we can improve upon and also what we've done right. Glad to hear you can now load XLr8Tools inside of the U2 DBTools package. Hopefully you can find some creative ways to take advantage of that :)
As with you, we have been playing around with Juno internally here. While we don't officially support or certify anything in U2 DBTools will work with it yet, we have people playing with in on Mac OSX and have been successful in loading and using it via the update site from a stock Juno Eclipse download.

With Rocket U2 having an update site the tools can be update through Eclipse's update manager. I just updated the latest release today that was released on June 27th. It only took a few minutes versus the de-install and re-install of the tools I had to previously do. So, just for grins I tried to load XLr8Tools through the menu item Help->Install New Software. The install went without an hitch. I Help->changed perspective to XLr8 Perspective. And lo and behold, I could see our editor, dictionary editor, installer, resizer, web developer, and object editor. Everything worked as if I had installed in Eclipse version from Eclipse.org. Wow, finally after all of these years we can interact with Rocket U2, well at least on a tool level for sure. On another note, I just down load the new version of Eclipse that was released this week called Juno (version 4.2). I was pleasantly surprised all of our tools worked with this release since the changed how Eclipse works. "Eclipse 4 changes the way in which services are accessed by plugin code. In Eclipse 2 and Eclipse 3, singletons and static methods provided access to services. With Eclipse 4, a dependency injection model is used, and components are instantiated and then wired into instance variables, using the JSR 330 <http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=330> annotations. The other change is the way the UI is created - instead of being constructed in code, it is instantiated from a model (serialised to disk with EMF). This allows an application's views to be constructed from a model, instead of problematic code." - http://www.infoq.com/news/2012/06/eclipse-juno Regards, Doug www.u2logic.com/tools.html "Eclipse tools that are affordable" _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
