New Features:
- Detect projects already in workspace
- Referenced library by variable erroneously converted to absolute path.
- Works with Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo)
Installation:
The updated plug-in is included in the zip file that is attached to this jar. To use it, simply download the zip file from this blog and extract the jar file that is inside of it to the plug-ins folder for your Eclipse installation on your harddrive.
Further Explanation:
"Detect projects already in workspace"
When importing an existing AX module into Eclipse, the Niagara plug-in will scan any projects already in Eclipse and if any of them use the module being imported as a referenced library then they will be updated to use the new project itself for the module being imported. This makes it much easier when performing context sensitive navigation from a class file in one module to a class file in another module.
"Referenced library by variable erroneously converted to absolute path."
This only affects those unfortunate enough who have a copy of the Niagara plug-in for Eclipse version 7.1.2, which was recalled just days after it was released in early 2009. Basically, version 7.1.2 attempted to detect projects already in workspace but had a flaw in that any projects automatically updated to use a subsequently imported AX module as a dependent project would have their referenced libraries converted to using absolute paths instead of variables.
"The Niagara plug-in needs updated to support Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo)."
Until now, the Niagara plug-in only worked with Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede) and Eclipse 3.3 (Europa). Now it works with Eclipse 3.3 (Europa), Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede), and Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo).
