Since it is the middle of the project and I have a little less than one
more month to go for Summer of Code, here is a status report on what has
been done so far.
07/09/05 - Site Editor
07/15/05 - Tabs Editor
You have the ability to add/remove elements in both site.xml and
tabs.xml files. There is also drag and drop support in the site.xml
editor. I am still working on linking it to the properties editor but
that should be done soon. I am getting some help on that from the
Eclipse folks.
07/21/05 - Wizard to Add View
Currently the wizard allows you to activate forrest:views when seeding a
file by setting the skin to leather-dev and specifying the requred
plugins in the forrest.properties file. There is also a new document
wizard that creates a new *.fv file.
07/27/05 - Locationmap Editor
Allows you to add matches and locations in a tree view. This should be
converted to a form view. There is also the same provlem with linking to
the Properties view in Eclipse but that should be solved when I solved
the problem with the Site and Tabs editor
07/30/05 - Forrest.properties Editor
This editor may no longer be needed. There is to be a discussion on
refining the configuration of Forrest which may eliminate the need for a
forrest.properties editor. A more appropriate feature would be a
configuration editor.
08/02/05 - Option to build WAR file
There is now an option that will allow you to build a war file for the
selected project.
08/08/05 - Wizard to Create New Site
The wizard to creates a new site allows you to do the following:
- Specify the name of the projecy
- Configure properties of the project specified in a siteconfig.xml file
- Select the option to activate forrest:views for that particular project
- Select the plugins that are to be used for that project
08/11/05 - Wizard to Add Plugin
This is still to be done. Is this the same as the Add Plugin feature in
the New Site Wizard or is there more funtionality that needs to be
included ?
08/14/05 - Support or Multiple Web Apps
This is still to be done
08/26/05 - Repository Browser
This is still to be done
08/29/05 - Wizard to Include from Remote repository
This is still to be done. This could be drag and drop from the
repository to the locationmap ?
