It appears that XSLT is no longer within the scope of current development.
It was included in the original statement of work but I have not seen any
tools that provide this functionality.

Have I missed something?

You're correct. XSL is not in the WTP 1.0 scope. XSL is in scope for the
WTP project but thus far the project has not received any contribution of
XSL tools.

hello,

i have just written an xslt plugin.

it consists of :

- preferences page (selection/configuration of used transformer
factory/tranformer properties)

- launch configuration with various settings (transformation parameters,
target directory/file, stylesheet detection inside xml source and much more)

- console syntax coloring (errors/logging/stdout), output scanner (filen
ames are links/will be opened in editor/jump to error in xsl/xml file)

- customized xml editor (extra context menu entries, hotkeys).
Customizations are no hacks. i used the public interfaces provided by
the xml editor implementation.

- customizable document outline. what elements in what kind are outlined
is freely configurable (i rememeber this was also requested in this list ?).

- xpath navigator view to test xpath expressions against a open document
or document selection

I just have a small problem with the xpath navigator (look at this
mailinglist for the "M3 xerces class loading problem" thread).
everything else is working fine.

the code is very clean and written for eclipse 3.1 (have started this
plugin with Eclipse 3.1M3). the latest build is ported to 3.1M5.

i have not yet released the code because of the open xerces classcast
problem in the xpath view. its just a question of time.

i am willing to contribute the code to eclipse.

Regards,

Lars

In case noone says it :) Thank you Lars for the work you did with this
plug in. I look forward to seeing it a part of WTP.

Hi Lars,

Thanks for your willingness to contribute to the project. Please post a
similar message to the WTP developer mailing list. It will help if you
include a location to obtain your plugins so we can try them out. Some
screen shots may also be useful for those that aren't able to try out your
plugins themselves.

Information about the WTP developer mailing list can be found at
https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/wtp-dev.

I also added a comment about your Xalan and Xerces problem with the XML
validator to bug 87621. See
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=87621

Actually, I think the correct procedure is not to "provide a location",
but to attach as a zip file to bugzilla feature request. That's the "Eclipse Way" of
a non-comitter contributing something to Eclipse. (Ensures that its tracable, and presumably
the "poster" to bugzilla has agreed to contraints and requirements of EGL). If its too large for bugzilla
attachement, then there must be someother "official" way of submitting code as a proposed contribution.

For something "large" like XSLT, there might be other forms to fill out, etc., but not knowing more
about it, I don't want to scare you off :)

Sounds like it'd be great.

2 people, 2 opinions - very good :-)

ok - what should i do:

1. provide a location/screenshots for the plugins

2. send the plugins to wtp-dev

3. become a comitter ?

by the way dave - it is not that large. about 200kb as zip archive
(including sources).

regards,

lars

Lars,

I'd suggest that you attach screenshots and your source code to a WTP
bugzilla bug. I'll be happy to read over your plugins (as the self
appointed XPath expert of WTP ;-). Post back with a link to you bugzilla
bug so anyone following this discussion can find it easily. I look
forward to working with you!

thanks
Craig

Hi Lars,

My suggestion earlier was to try and get some interest from the community
for your idea. As there already seems to be interest please follow the
correct Eclipse procedue David has outlined.
