Jacek on things

After busy week at my new job , today I was really happy to post an announcement that Ajax Tools Framework is getting new life. In last days it was updated and reorganized a bit to work with Eclipse Galileo and now is available for install from nightly builds update site. ATF, was home for JavaScript Developer Tools (JSDT) and couple other features that later found their place in WebTools project. Unfortunately not all cool stuff had this luck. Probably the best features still there in incubation are Mozilla IDE and Javascript debugging. Mozilla IDE brings lots of tools to x-ray your webpage. Among others, you can live edit page DOM model and see how the page look changes, play with CSS details or monitor HTTP requests. Javascript debugger is, as you guess, the reincarnation of everyone's favourite Debug perspective but for JS language. Some of those features work well, while other still need some love, so our plan for next weeks is to make Mozilla IDE and Javascript debugging

I'd like to share with you the target platform for my new project : You see it's not something typical one would have installed in Eclipse - there's a bunch of plug-ins from Mozilla or WTP repositories. Wouldn't it be troublesome for a newcomer willing to contribute? Install this and that from here and there... Oh and yes, then install their dependencies... Nooo! But now, since Target Platforms can contain any repositories, I just configured all the dependencies there and posted the atf.target file next to the PSF file. Now setting up the whole environment is as simple as importing two tiny files :-) Horey! Thank you PDE (btw. what a new tasty home page :-))
