  • Developing Eclipse Plug-ins by Peter Nehrer   - [Clicks: 158]
    In Eclipse, all functionality is encapsulated in plug-ins, which "plug into" one another using well-defined extension points. Its Plug-in Development Environment provides powerful tools and wizards to help you get started developing your own plug-ins. More importantly, PDE will support your development throughout the entire cycle, including distribution and post-production maintenance. Now make your own!

  • Finding unresolved Plug-in dependencies in Eclipse by Indiver Dwivedi   - [Clicks: 52]
    Trying to locate an unresolved plug-in dependency can be strenuous and time-consuming. Almost every plug-in depends on a bunch of other plug-ins, and those plug-ins, in turn, may depend on many more. If Eclipse does not load any single plug-in in this long chain, manually pinpointing that plug-in may take more time and effort than originally planned. If you wish there was a way to automate this plug-in check, read on.

  • Eclipse Plugins Exposed, Part 3: Customizing a Wizard by Emmanuel Proulx   - [Clicks: 78]
    In part one of this series, we introduced Eclipse's plugin development environment and developed a simple plugin. In part two, we added a toolbar button, a menu item, and dialogs. The result was a shiny gizmo that didn't do much for us. It simply displayed sample text using a font. Now we need to make it manage actual data. We will massage the plugin so that it does what we need it to do. This article discusses editor documents and shows how to customize a wizard.

  • Configuring Database Access in Eclipse 3.0 with SQLExplorer by Deepak Vohra   - [Clicks: 222]
    SQLExplorer is an Eclipse IDE database plugin that may be used to connect to a database from Eclipse. The SQLExplorer plugin adds a graphical user interface (GUI) to access a database with SQL. With SQLExplorer, you can display the tables, table structure, and data in the tables, and retrieve, add, update, or delete table data. SQLExplorer can also generate SQL scripts to create and query tables. Thus, using SQLExplorer may be preferable to using a command-line SQL client. In this tutorial, we shall establish a JDBC connection with the open source MySQL database from Eclipse 3.0 with the SQLExplorer plugin.

  • Eclipse Plugins Exposed, Part 2: Simple GUI Elements by Emmanuel Proulx   - [Clicks: 77]
    In this article we'll discuss a few simple GUI elements: - Toolbar button; - Menu item; - Dialog. As examples of these, we'll modify slightly our existing plugin, and write a utility class that we'll need down the road.

  • Develop SQL databases with Eclipse, SQLExplorer, and Clay by Robi Sen   - [Clicks: 146]
    Learn how to use Eclipse and the SQLExplorer plug-in to connect to any database that supports a JDBC driver. These tools allow you to view database schemas, view table data, add and edit table data, and write, edit, and execute SQL. You will also learn how to use Azzurri Clay to create Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERDs), reverse-engineer databases, add tables, edit tables, delete tables, edit relationships, add indexes, and change your underlying data model into different SQL dialects.

  • Building Eclipse plug-ins using templates by Christopher Judd   - [Clicks: 94]
    You may know that Eclipse is a framework meant for building other tools. You may also know that you can build your own plug-ins for Eclipse. But did you know that Eclipse comes with seven different plug-in templates to get you started? This tutorial starts you off with a start-to-finish look at building a plug-in using the Hello World template, and then introduces you to the other templates, such as Plug-in with an editor and Plug-in with perspective extensions.

  • Create your own visualisations in Eclipse by Matt Chapman, Helen Hawkins, Sian January   - [Clicks: 55]
    The Visualiser plug-in from Eclipse.org is a universal tool for visualising any type of resource. This tutorial, written by the creators of the Visualiser, takes you step by step through the process of extending the tool to visualise a new type of resource -- the results returned by the Google Internet search engine. It then shows you some of the other ways in which the Visualiser has already been put to good use.
