Day Software's JCR Eclipse Plugin
I am using Day Software's free Eclipse Plugin ( http://www.day.com/eclipse
) for browsing my Jackrabbit repository connecting through RMI.
I love the plugin - its the most comprehensive one I have found and will fit
well into our development environment. However - i am unable to edit
property values. I am not sure if this is by design - or if this is a bug in
my environment. Since I am able to add new properties and add / edit nodes -
it would seem that it should be able to edit property values.
What happens is that when I select a property in the JCR Repository view the
property details appear in the Property View. I then select the value field
in the Property View - but I get no editable control. When i start typing
with the value selected I do get an edit box in the bottom right of my
eclipse IDE (it seems out of place down there - like there is a bug with the
positioning of the box). However - I see no way to update the property
value.
Is anyone familiar with this plugin and its capabilities? Can anyone else
edit property values in this plugin?
I am running Eclipse 3.3.0 in case that makes a difference.
Thanks.

Thanks :-)

Yes, this is a major missing point in the plugin. It just never has been
implemented :-) The actualy implementation would probably go exactly
along the lines you sketched: Click on the property value to change it.

I am, because I wrote it :-)
I cannot exactly tell, when a fix for this issue would be available. But
there will certainly be one ...

Hi,
The link http://www.day.com/eclipse is for the Eclipse Update Manager.
If you append the slash the server will redirect to the
http://www.day.com/eclipse/index.html which informs you more about the
plugin(s) and how to install them into Eclipse.
Regards
Felix

The link works if you add a / at the end: www.day.com/eclipse/. Funny :-).

Can you provide the correct one?

I removed this functionality from the plugin, because I was not very
happy with it and it made the plugin very heavy weight (counting in the
required libraries to run Jackrabbit). And then there were a lot of
misunderstandings because it was not always clear the "local" repository
means a repository running inside Eclipse and not being accessible from
the outside.
But you might look at Sling [1] wich has a jackrabbit-server bundle,
which you may want to (try to) deploy to your Eclipse environment and
then access through the plugin.
Hope this helps.

Hi all,
In the first version I downloaded, it was possible to use a local repository
specifying home and repository.xml file.
Using this version I could not find the same feature. It is only possible to
use it through RMI. Has it been removed??
Cheers,
Lorenzo

Thanks very much for such a prompt response to my inquiry. This is a very
useful Eclipse plugin for browsing JCR repositories. Nice Job!

No, at the moment, there is no archive. If there would be enough
interest, I could of course package the thing into an archive.

I just uploaded version 3.6.2 of the plugin which contains support for
editing property values in the Property view. Please direct your Eclipse
Update Manager to the Day Eclipse Update site at
http://www.day.com/eclipse/ to grab it.
