Dear All,
Please find three new plug-ins in the CVS:
-
com.aws
-
eu.geclipse.aws
-
eu.geclipse.aws.ui
These plug-ins contain a first support for the Amazon
S3 service. To use them you should have am AWS account and
subscribe to the S3 service (aws.amazon.com). Of course you don’t get
this for free. But just to give you a number, the development of these plug-ins
with a lot of testing (uploading, downloading etc.) was about 0.06 Euros which
is quite fair. So if you would like to give it a try you should do so.
The implementation comes with:
-
Authentication token,
i.e. AWS credential created from your access key ID and
secret key (can be found on your AWS
account)
-
Full support for S3, i.e.
listing, opening, saving, deleting, new files (called objects), copying from and to S3. New folders (called buckets) does not yet
work.
I had several tests in combination with local and gridFTP connections and
for me everything seems to work quite smoothly. The only issue I found was
related to the GridElementTransferOperation,
so please also update eu.geclipse.ui if you would like to test things.
It would be nice if I could have some feedback if
things are working for you before the end of the week since I will then prepare
the DVDs for the EclipseCon tutorial and
they will contain this first version of S3.
Cheers, Mathias
