Proj-x Transfer v1.1.1 is now available
I’ve finally got some free time to update Proj-x Transfer, so these are the changes in version 1.1.0
- Keyboard shortcuts now work in the Editor, what ever your working on will be Queued/Uploaded/Downloaded.
- Added option to set PASV or ACTIVE transfer in the Project Properties.
- Fixed remote permissions bug which caused the plugin to constantly generate “Access Denied” error’s and eventually crash.
The latest version can be downloaded from the Transfer homepage
as with all things Eclipse, getting the Editor Shortcuts was a little tricky, I’ll save that for a later post.
UPDATE: After testing the update at work I found the Editor shortcuts didn’t work with PDT, so I’ve made a fix for this and released it as v1.1.1.
My Eclipse Plugin.. Projx Transfer
At work we’ve recently migrated from using the Nusphere PhpED IDE to Eclipse and PDT, the benefits offered by Eclipse are massive, not least its huge archive of available plug-ins.
The one thing I’ve desperately missed about Nusphere is the ability to right click a file and deploy it directly from the Project Explorer, this is about the only thing that I’ve not managed to find a reliable plug-in – So I decided to implement one myself, heres a sample screenshot
I’ve called it Projx Transfer, it integrates with Eclipse Project Explorer, each project can be transferred to different destinations via FTP, files and folders can be transferred by selecting Upload or Download from their context menu’s, additionally it allows items to be queued for bulk transfers.
You find more details and downloads at http://www.proj-x.org/eclipse-plugins/projx-transfer/, the source code is also available.
Compatibility between Eclipse 3.3 and 3.4
For anybody having plug-in compatibility issues between Eclipse 3.3 and 3.4, there may be a solution.
(This is really for my own future reference 
)
Example code for Eclipse viewers
Recently I’ve been playing about with developing plug-ins for Eclipse, but it’s been 4 years since I wrote my last line of Java and I’ve been coding PHP ever since, so I’m having to completely re-learn the Java object model and Eclipse’s API.
The biggest obstacle has been finding decent learning material, there are lots of tutorials floating about on the web, but nothing beats having an abundance of simple examples to pull apart. So I place this link here for prosperities sake
It leads to a wealth of examples for creating Viewers, SWT Controls and other stuff.
