Hi webtools group,
my task is currently to develop something like a xml editor with xsd
validation / code completion / syntax highlighting / etc for a set of
special xml/xsd combinations + wizards + views etcetcetc for our company.
And - thanks to the eclipse community and the webtools project I found
something very cool - the xml editor built in the webtools project
(org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui). And I definitely want to reuse the webtools
xml editor for our project because I think it's a really cool piece of sw.
I want to integrate it in a similar style like org.eclipse.wst.xsd.ui
does - that means use the core xml editor and extend it with additional
functionality for my needs. I guess that is a fairly good idea
(everybody agrees with that?).
So what is now my question... Okay difficult and probably very easy for
you to answer.
I just want to know how your workspace is organized - or how I should
organize my work best. You use eclipse for development right?
Who is responsible for the cvs stuff. You do it by hand cvs co/ci or is
eclipse handling that? (I want to stay in touch with recent webtools
developments.)
If you do development for a certain part of the webtools project - do
you have all projects of wst checked out? (as one single project in
eclipse - or each project individually?)
How do you organize the build process locally (I learned recently how to
do that from command line with the org.eclipse.wtp.releng tool - and yes
- the build runs, but it fetches everything himself, so I wonder how to
use this tool with my "handfetched" cvs ressources).
I hope these questions are bit precise enough to give you an idea of my
problem - right now I am not sure how to organize my work best. Perhaps
you have as well some additional reading or tutorials on that.
Many thanks in advance,
and great appreciations to the webtools people - I think you are doing a
great software...
Raphael

Well, I understand you can import the projects from CVS directly by Team
Perspective, right? and then each day use this feature to update your
imported projects with the most recent code.
