[eclipse] new download

Hi all,

there is a new eclipse plugin for download.
http://www.merlin.softwarefabrik.biz/download/index.htm

With the "new project" wizard, I'm generating some merlin block code.
Persistence is also included but not yet fully functional.

You can just create a project and run/debug it.

Please give me some ideas, what to generate as a starting point. Generation
is done through a very small template engine, so adopting of code generation
is very easy.

What do you think about the directory structure?

Thanks

Andreas

P.S. What is the decision now? IRC or ICQ?

I got the patch, and gave it another whirl.  Same error.

Then... I got wise.  In the wizard text boxes for the name of my service and
service implementation, I supplied *fully-qualified-class-names*, instead of
just a class name.  Bingo!  Works like a champ.

It doesn't like class names with some kind of package specification.

I can definitely see the beginning of a nice tool here.  Good work, and I'll
be eager to see more of this as it evolves.

I'll check that. Which eclipse version are you using?

We are planning to support three types of development:
a) framework development like you / we do
b) "normal" application block development like it is done in the past
c) enterprise application development.

With c) we would like to integrate things like security (JAAS),
transparent distribution, a gui abstraction layer, workflow etc. so that
large applications could be build easily based on Merlin. 

I will add doc step by step. But it is also important to me, what you
need - in one of those roles.

Cool... Have recently switched to Eclipse from NetBeans in order to
(hopefully) take advantage of the Merlin/Avalon tool generation activities.

I get a "String index out of range: -1" error whenever I try to create
either a Native Block Development Project or a Architecture Driven Project.

What are the differences suppose to be in the different project types that
you can generate?
