Hi
Sounds like a great plugin. I guess one should wait until it is at a V1 stage before commiting (At least that is what I have done when committing to opensource), but if you someone to help you test it I would be more than willing.

I was intending to make it available. I had intended to get some
basic functionality working before I did so. Right now it is at the
stage where it visits your eclipse project and parses all the clay
config files. It attempts every xml file even those that are included
in jars. If it is not a clay xml it just keeps chugging along. The
reason I chose this approach over having to have the user point to
clay configs is that I wanted it to 'just work'. Based on what it
find it creates a tree view that mimics the inheritance of the
components. Each node has an icon and a label (the jsfid) which have
some pretty stock images (folder, resource) next to them. I was
hoping to be able to incorporate more descriptive images, but images
are not my speciality unfortunately. Maybe after I donate a graphic
oriented person could enhance them.
When you click a node the description from the clay xml is show below
the tree. You can drag a component from the tree into a clay xml. At
this point you enter a wizard that asks whether you want to create a
new component extending the one that you dragged or whether you want
to use the dragged component as a child element. You can also edit
the description - the text area defaults to the description of the
component you dragged. The wizard is not finished yet and I wanted it
to be able to optionally run through the gamet of adding children,
adding listeners, validators, etc. When you finish the wizard the
component is dropped as xml into your config file. Eclipse resource
change listeners are registered to make sure that when you save,
delete, etc the visual component tree is updated.
I also have an xml editor that supports auto complete based on the
available clay components in your workspace. However, currently this
has yet to be completely incorporated.
I am fairly new to contributing to open source projects. Should I
contribute the code in it's non-working state or wait until I get
basic working plugin before I donate?
Thanks,
Ryan
