Removed all struts dependencies
  • decreased download size (68Kb instead of 1.25Mb)

Bug fix for pre-1.4 JVM.
Tested on MacOSX (JVM 1.3.1) and Windows (JVM 1.4)
0.0.4 11 Jul. 2002

First public release of the plugin.
Developped and tested with Eclipse 2.0 ans Sun's VM 1.4.

You also need to install:

  • Eclipse Draw2D plugin (part of the GEF toolkit )
    project page (tested version 2.1)
  • SolarEclipse plugin
    project page (tested version 0.4.0)
If your cannot use the update manager online, a zip version is avalaible. After unzipping, you will need to point the update manager to the local site.xml file.
  • Improve Struts editor and WSDL viewer 0.4.1

Using the struts-config Editor

Once the plugin is installed, Eclipse should associate the editor to all your struts-config.xml files.
The Editor contains two tabs : a graph view and a source view.
Left-clicking a JSP or an action in graph view will open the associated JSP/class file.
Right-clicking a JSP or an action will switch to source view and highlight this JSP/action declaration.

Some known limitations are :

  • Right-cliking may not select the text you expect. Use ctrl+K to navigate through the file.
  • Mouse cursor remains as an arrow. Any help appreciated.
