David, There are two approaches to this: The quick way: Take the existing WebLogic plugin and porting it to OpenEJB. The right way: Writing from scratch as WebTools extension
My suggestion is to do this properly and start with a fresh slate. We can take some of the goodies from my plugin when necessary but from reading the documentation on WTP, I don't see there being too much to getting something working quickly. I also haven't really scoped a WebLogic to OpenEJB plugin port so it could end up taking more time than it would to do it right. I hope to have a skeleton project in svn by the end of the week. Take care, Jeremy On 2/12/07, David Blevins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Big thumbs up for putting energy into jump-starting new exciting initiatives! Good stuff! I volunteer to help! :) I created a space for us in svn: And threw up a basic page we can update/change however we like: http://cwiki.apache.org/OPENEJB/eclipse-plugin.html So any ideas on how to get some basic code in there asap. I know you did quite a bit of work on the weblogic eclipse plugin. Is it possible to throw that in there and just start changing it to be OpenEJB specific, or am I dreaming? :) -David On Feb 12, 2007, at 1:55 PM, Jeremy Whitlock wrote: > Hi All, > It seems there is a great interest in this idea so I am ready to > get > started on this.
