I just started experimenting with MyEclipse so this may be a stupid question.

I’m using the lates release candidate of 2.7.

I got the impression from the release notes that this included some struts functionality for doing common struts things like creating Action classes and ActionForm’s. However I can’t seem to find anything like this.

I was able to create a web project and add struts capabilites to it via the context menu. I can create a jsp and reference struts taglibs which all seems to work great. But if i wanted to quicly create a new Action and coresponding form, do I have to do the usuall steps manually or is there some way to auto mate that.

If this functionality doesn’t exist then I’d like to recommend it. I don’t think it would take much, just some basic template classes. It would be especially nice if it also updated the struts-config.xml at the same time.

For an example of what I’m talking about take a look at the preview version of Oracle Jdeveloper 10g.

Thanks.

Roy,
Don’t loose hope just yet, the functionality is somewhat hidden in the struts-config outline view. Go ahead and open the struts-config file and on the right hand side you’ll see an outline view of your config file. Right click on any of the root nodes to get wizards for creating new elements of the respective type.

We are always working on making the UI more intuitive and accessible and are currently discussing adding this functionality elsewhere so it isn’t so centralized in this one file.

Ahh yes, thank you. That was very helpfull. I kept trying to drag items from the outline view into the flow view.
