| RE: [wtp-dev] Project Facets Tutorial |
|
Tutorial Feedback: (using eclipse 3.2 and WST 1.5) This may be dated, but I recently joined the wtp-dev list
and immediately found this tutorial relevant to my current work and figured it may be beneficial to post my feedback. Overall, well done and thanks for the tutorial. I have no
experience developing facets. It was quite helpful for me to understand project
facets. 1. I started with starter.zip and followed along the
tutorial without any issues until I got to Step 7 - adding wizard pages, where I cut&pasted all the code and ended up with a 'failed to
instantiate class' error when trying to run the wizard. Due to lack of time I did not investigate and instead
switched to the solution.zip and went through the remainder of the tutorial. 2. In the tutorial, the xml is incorrect in Part 3 where you
give the example constraint code to cut&paste - the project-facet-version
element does not have the correct closing tag 3. The solution.zip plugin.xml has some warnings : Element facet is not a legal child of element preset Element category is not a legal child of element
project-facet 4. using solution.zip code as-is, the preset Configurations
do not show up in the New Dynamic Web Project - Dynamic Web Project wizard page
nor the New Dynamic Web Project - Project Facets wizard page. They do show up in the Add/Remove Project facets page, but
show an error when selected : "Cannot change version of project facet
Dynamic Web Module to 2.2" |
