[Java-gnome-developer] Eclipse Plugins

[Dan P. <pi...@sl...>]

All,
  I've written two simple Wizard plugins for the Eclipse development
environment.  They still need some work, but proof-of-concept is working
well.  I have one that creates a simple application that has a menubar,
and toolbar.  The other creates a Glade application.  Anyway, the point
of this is I'm wondering what the state of JavaGnome is.  I've reworked
the spec file some to build binary RPMs (now supports RPM_BUILD_ROOT and
a few other changes) and would like to release the eclipse plugin along
with the CVS version of JavaGnome.  Is there another JavaGnome release
coming shortly?  If not, would people object to me putting RPMs of the
current CVS on the site with the Eclipse plugin?
  Unrelated, there are a few JavaGnome widgets that don't work with
Glade due to naming issues.  In particular StatusBar and ToolBar.  The
GTK versions are named GtkStatusbar and GtkToolbar so you can't retrieve
them from LibGlade.
  Anyway, GREAT WORK on the JavaBindings.  I'm really excited about what
they can do and that motivated me enough to put together these wizards. 
Finally, would it be possible for someone to give me RW access to CVS? 
Phew.. Thanks again, and great job! -- Dan

Please report all issues you find in the bug tracking system.
I've not used glade personally, so don't know much about this. Perhaps
it's time to start :)

Are they available anywhere now?
Once they're working, can I create Debian packages for them? they sound
quite useful.

  They'll be up a.s.a.p.  I have a new site that will host the web page,
I just need to write the page.  I'll try and get them up tonight.  As
for deb packages, you're more than welcome to, but does Debian build
packages for eclipse?  The plugins are distributed like any other
eclipse plugin, just a zip file you unzip into the "eclipse" directory. 
Anyway, if you do decide to build debian packages and you'd like me to
put them on the site with the rest of the distribution, just yell. --

  Sure.. They'll be available shortly (with source, the usual), I need
to take about 10 minutes and just put the site together.  I'll try and
do it tonight.

  I agree.  I'll look at GCJ in a bit.  I really like the idea of
developing everything in Java then compiling it into an executable so
anti-java people won't even know it was written in an better language. 
;)
  I'd like to get some more features/configuration options in the
wizards then I'll look into the GCJ stuff.

Cool, I'll take a look.

lol. Yes that's exactly what I thought. (see:
http://www.gridfire.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/EclipseGnome for some of my
other ideas)

I'll probably not have enough time to do much but I'll sure give your
plugins a try.

Maybe I could look at something smaller like setting up an eclipse
"feature" for gnome integration. This is what the JBoss group do to
install the set of JBoss plugins. You just type the url of the features
xml file and bingo it installs everything into eclipse and enables users
to perform updates when new plugins are released.
