- Project structure: choose between the basic structure and a Maven structure (+ migration action)
- XML validation and error markers for jbi.xml files

- Several bugs corrected
- New tutorial to create your own plug-in and improved documentation
Presentation
The Eclipse plug-ins for PEtALS allows you to generate complete service-unit projects you can then package as service-assemblies for PEtALS.
The plug-ins work as a set of wizards, one per PEtALS component, that generate the jbi.xml file and import any file specified in the wizard (e.g. WSDL file, XSL documents).
As a user, you can decide which kind of structure your project should have.
- You can generate a project with a Maven structure (src/main/*) with a pre-filled pom.xml file. Notice that this structure is not enough to use the current PEtALS Maven plug-in. You have to build another project for the "SA part". However, things should be soon improved so that both tools work perfectly in coherence.
- You can also decide to generate a basic structure, which is a simple Eclipse project organization, with the jbi.xml in a META-INF folder. When you generate this structure, you can decide to migrate to a Maven structure through a right-click action.
Once your project has been created and that you have no more modification to do, you can package or export this project as a service-assembly to deploy with the PEtALS administration console.
More information is available in the plug-ins documentation ( Help > Help Contents )

For my information, why have you choose to host PEtALS Eclipse plugins project on the EBMWS forge instead of the OW2 forge ? It seems to me that it's ambiguous for PEtALS users.
What is the license of these plugins ? LGPL as PEtALS ? |

This is a good question. 
I think it was for practical reasons. We hope the plug-ins will move to an official forge soon. But we don't know which one yet.
They might be submitted in the OW2 forge or they may be proposed as a project in the Eclipse foundation (maybe as a new component in Eclipse STP, but there would be several steps to go through before - the first one being a validation of the way these plug-ins work).

EPL, the Eclipse license (which is an open-source license).

I don't if it's a bug, but a can't install the Petals plugin 1.0.0 (that was great with the 0.9):
The url is bad? Can you hold me a newer?
I'm on ganymède, and I tried with the old version (update), and then without the old version (install)...
Can you help me? Do you need more informations on my platform?
Thanks! |

Sorry for the delay...
The URL works fine when you remove the dot at the end.
Which version did you have in 0.9 ? 0.9.1 ? Whatever it was, I advise you to uninstall these plug-ins first before installing this new version. I gave the procedure in the announce I made on the PEtALS-users mailing-list. Given your error message, plug-ins version has nothing to do in this problem. It was just for prevention.
About the URL, if removing the dot does not fix it, you can remove the "site.xml" suffix.
I would be surprised if it was the problem, but you can try anyway.
Please, let me know if these solutions worked. |

Well, I don't have a point at the end of the url of course (it was a bad copy paste of the error), and none previous distrib' (I had remove the 0.9.0).
If I put "site.xml" at the end, it don't works again. If I put nothing after the slash /, it's fine : thanks a lot !
So the great site link on ganymede (and Linux distrib?) is http://dist.ebmwebsourcing.com/eclipse/petals/
Thanks again  |

OK. I will have to take a look at this to understand why it works with Europa and not with Ganymede. 
I have my idea...
Thanks for the feedback. |

I got a question by email.
I report it here in case where anyone else would have the same question.
| Quote: | It begins with a message saying that the plug-ins work correctly with the PEtALS "Quickstart", version 2.2.
It then goes on with a question to know whether the plug-ins also work with the "Platform" distribution of PEtALS, version 2.1.2. |
The facts...
The plug-ins are associated with components, not with a PEtALS distribution. And components do not depend on a specific distribution.
Therefore, if the components supported by the plug-ins work with the "Platform", then I don't see any reason why the plug-ins would not generate wrong artefacts.
PEtALS team, if I' m wrong, thanks for telling me. |
