I’ve just downloaded the plugin. But I wanted to double check that it doesn’t support XHTML and XSL. And if not, are there any plans to support them in the future.

Thank you.

Our XML editor supports both Design and Source mode editing of XSL documents. It has full Validation, Code Assist and Completion.

The HTML editor has support for XHTML in source mode only. XHTML support in design mode is slated for a future release. However, by default xhtml files are opened with MyEclipse-WebBrowser. You can open xhtml files with HTML editor by right-clicking and “Open With->MyEclipse HTML Editor”. You can also change the default assocation under Preferences->Workbench->File Associations then select *.xhtml association, then select MyEclipse HTML editor and click “Default”.

Were there other features you were looking for?

Actually, my eclipse was configured wrong, so when I opened a html file it was using the wrong plugin. However, there are some other features I would like to see added.

XHTML features
Code assist for html elements, e.g. when you type “<div” a dropdown should show all the valid attributes for your doctype.
If you select lines of text, right clicking the selection should bring up a context menu with options: to convert lines to list (ordered & unordered), add <p> tags to lines, convert lines to table, add <br />’s to the lines, etc. It would also be nice to be able to remove tags from a selection. The ability to configure this context menu action would also be lovely.
I would to be able to create my own shortcuts in the toolbar for adding things like <br />, <p></p>, etc.
Code assist for embedded javascript
As you are typing code if you type something invalid according to your doctype, there should be some kind of indication.

CSS
I don’t see any content assist.
As you are typing code if you type something invalid, there should be some kind of indication.

Global:
Since I just installed the plugin yesterday, I haven’t been able to test everything. I was wondering, though, if as you are typing code if you type something invalid, could there be some kind of indication.

I don’t care too much for wysiwyg, but I love a lot of help! 😆

[darkmaneda]

Sorry! 😳 I meant to put those features in a list.

PS.
Are there plans to continue updating the code assist for javascript. After typing document.getElementById(), there should be a lot more options.

Thanks again!

darkmaneda,
What version of MyEclipse did you install? There already is code assist for Javascript in and out of HTML pages, CSS code assist and error marking for invalid syntax errors in all of the editors?

Are you sure you are using our editors with these files?

[darkmaneda]

I must be missing something…

I downloaded:
MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench 3.8.1 GA for Windows 98/NT/2000/XP (8/22/2004)

I confirmed that my css, html, and js files are associated with MyEclipse in eclipse.

When I type:
.text{

I’m expecting something, but nothing happens. If I go on to type:
.text{
text_align:lefft;
}

I’m expecting something, but nothing happens.

As for javascript in the html pages, I did see the code assist. Guess I was a bit impatient. I have not seen any error marks so far.

What about the other features? Already in, feasible, or I lost my mind.

Could it be the other plugins I’ve installed are conflicting with your plugin? How can I remove the other plugins? I was testing Lomboz and the new WTP plugin.

Here is a screenshot

You can’t see my cursor, but you can see the two errors I have. Am I misunderstanding something.

[Riyad Kalla]

Ahh… we actually USE the WTP editors and while having Lomboz installed should be fine technically, you never know if the two plugins are fighting under the covers.

But I’m confident we have autocomplete in these situations (although I noticed the lack of error marker in the CSS editor that you pointed out, thanks for the report!)
