RE: Spindle 3.0.15 available (problems with Eclipse 3.0M4)

["Mayne, Peter" <Pe...@ap.spherion.com>]

I've just installed Spindle 3.0.15 on Eclipse 3.0M4, and marked my existing
project as a Tapestry project, with the context root at /. (My WEB-INF is
directly below the project directory.)

My project icon has a red problem marker on it, but there's no indication of
what the problem is, or where it might be.

All of my .page and .jwc files in the Package Explorer have the orange icon,
but I had to manually associate the .html files with the green H icon. The
.application also has the orange icon.

This differs from the screenshots, which have .jwc files with a purple icon,
and .page files with a purple P icon.

When I open the .application file, I just get the XML editor, as in
sourceLarge.jpg. There's no nice looking .application editor as shown in
screenLarge.jpg.

When I edit a .jwc file, and add an element such as
"<xproperty-specification type="int"/>", I get no indications that this is
illegal, even after doing a project rebuild.

I don't get outline view that looks anything like the screenshots.

Creating a new project which puts WEB-INF below a context directory gives me
the same stuff.

So, all that Spindle has given me is a problem marker, some icons, and a
replacement XML editor (instead of the XML Buddy plugin). Since Spindle
seems to be working wonderfully for others, I'm obviously doing something
wrong, but what? (Apart from using an unsupported version of Eclipse, that
is. :-)

Thanks.

Re: Spindle 3.0.15 available (problems with Eclipse 3.0M4)

[Colin Sampaleanu <co...@exis.com>]

I believe you are talking about the screenshots for Spindle 1.15. I 
think in the 3.0 alphas there is no specialized .application editor as 
in 1.15, with the 5 different sections on it, just the smart xml editor 
view which is aware of the proper format of the .application file, and 
can show you errors in it. From my point of view this is more useful 
than the old specialized view, in that it's much faster to get the 
content in. There is also an accompanying outline view for each of the 
.application, spec, and template editors.

As to why the xml views are not working properly for you, unfortunately 
I have no idea. You may want to see what happens if you move the context 
to a subdirectory as opposed to making it the same as the root of your 
project. Spindle may not be able to handle that. Personally I don't 
think it's a correct thing to do anyways (regardless of Spindle), since 
that means that eveything in your project, all sources and targets 
included, really have to be considered as being part of your webapp 
(short of using some filters when you actually generate the .war file, 
which is what I guess you are doing), and that doesn't make sense. It's 
cleaner to put the context under something like:
  /src/web
or
   /web
or
  /context
etc. (but that's just my opinion :-) ).

Regards,
Colin

please read the 'Requirments' section at
http://tapestry.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/SpindleAlpha
WEB-INF can't be right under the project.

In 2.1.x there was the Task view that wouldshow you the markers and thier
messages. In 2.1.x you might have to set the view filter to 'on this
resource and all its children'. Otherwise the view will be so full of stuff
you might miss the marker your interested in. In 3.0 I think (but can't
confirm) that the task view has been split out into a couple of views.

See the 'Note about the editors' section of the wiki page (link above). Old
spindle and new Spindle don'tplay well together.

There are no screenshot for Spindle 3.0 - you're looking at screenshots of
the old Spindle. When Spindle 3.0.x goes beta, the screenshots on the site
will be updated.

See last comment

please enter a bug here:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=50321&atid=459328

In general there are a few things that can help me track down  problem:

attach eclipse/workspace/.metadata/.log to the bug (even better delete .log,
reproduce, then attach .log)

If your project is small and you are willing, zip it up and attach it to the
bug (make sure to include .project .classpath and .tapestryplugin in the
zip).

Once again, there are no screenshots for these alpha builds

Huh?

Well, one thing that Spindle has that XMLBuddy does not is Tapestry specific
syntax completion.

Try hitting ctrl-space in a jwcid or in the type attribute of a <component>
tag. There are others.
