Maverick plugin for eclipse

Features

Controllers can be tagged with @maverick-factory @maverick-controller and @maverick-view. These tags are used when creating new commands from maverick navigator or from outline (right click) when editing maverick.xml.

@maverick-controller tags the class to be visible in create new command dialog

@maverick-view gives a hint about what are the view names the controller will return. This information is used when doing new commands in the reesulting xml.

package org.infohazard.friendbook.ctl;

import org.infohazard.friendbook.data.*;

/**
 * The controller for the submission of the change password form.  Since
 * the error case simply sends back to the changePassword view, we extend
 * the initial ChangePassword controller to accomodate its form values.
 *
 * @maverick-controller
 * @maverick-view name="success"
 * @maverick-view name="error"
 * @maverick-view name="loginRequired"
 */
public class ChangePasswordSubmit extends ChangePassword
{
	public void setOldPassword(String value) { this.oldPassword = value; }
	public void setNewPassword(String value) { this.newPassword = value; }
	public void setNewPasswordAgain(String value) { this.newPasswordAgain = value; }

Important resources are decorated with overlays so you instantly notice the right resources.

Even if mavplug helps you to write maverick based web applications it does not bound you to use it. Every project generated with mavlug includes full ant build scripts that can be used to build the project from command line.

There is allready a simple implementation of maverick perspective (a layout) whick can be used to develop maverick applications.

Contents of maverick.xml file can be wieved in a navigator (+ outline view). Navigator can also be used to jump into controller java files and view files (jsp, vm, ...) to quickly navigate into files of interest.

Maverick.xml files will be validated to be valid xml (errors will be flagged)

Editing maverick.xml without writing xml

A simple xml editor (with syntax highlighting) for editing maverick,xml files
