[news.eclipse.technology.epf] Re: EPF Authoring - Views, Publishing

["Peter Haumer" <phaumer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I need to still clean up the meta-model specification and remove all IBM 
specific references before I can place it into the project's CVS repository. 
In the mean-time you find some diagrams in the base_concepts plug-in of the 
donated content.  Get the published site from here 
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epf/bup_20060209.zip 
and check out Organizational Concepts page in Getting Started.

The basic idea is that any category defined in your RMC plug-ins can be 
declared to become a view in the published web site.  For example, you 
define a custom category that lists all you favorite task and guidance 
pages.  By selecting it as a view in your configuration the RMC web 
publisher will make it a tab (i.e. view) in the tree browser of the 
published site.  Check out the BUP configuration in the EPF tool itself. 
You find there that "Getting Started" and "Team" have been selected as 
views.  Go ahead and find these two in the bup plug-in under custom 
categories --> beaco_views and examine how they have been defined as well as 
how the tree browser is defined as nested categories.


Thanks and best regards,
Peter Haumer.
