Hey Ian,
This mail got lost in my inbox ;/
I could have sworn I saw HD versions of all three of the demo videos
when
I first uploaded them. Now looking at them again they are all small
and
grainy. I will have to take a look tonight to see what is going on
with
that.
Let me know if you figured those out ;)
Yes, the wizard takes the already generated report out of the
.metadata
folder, zips/tars it up and exports it to the location of your choice.
Also if the report does not already exists then it generates one, and
there is the option to always generate new report before export as
well.
cool.
As far as adding to the global menu. I did not know where else to put
the
new actions. I do have the export wizard in the export wizards dialog,
but
the other two options to view in the windup report view and to
generate
the windup report need a place to live. Before I first added the menu
I
was chatting with my friend who still commits to WTP about where he
would
put them, because I was worried about clutter, but he said he would
create
a new sub menu as I did. If you have a better idea for where the
"Open in
Windup Report View" and "Generate Windup Report" actions could live I
am
all ears. The only reason I also added the "Export Windup Report"
action
there as well was because I already had the sub menu and it seemed
like a
logical place a user may look for the export function as well as
checking
the export dialog. But if a new home is found for the other two
actions I
have no problem just having the export wizard live in the export
dialog.
The context menu is just waaaaay too crowded for having 'once in a
while' features
put on all context menus.
I would simply not put them in the context menu by default - you could
have
a command definition users can enable if they want to but otherwise just
have a command that would be accessible via Ctrl+3 or the wizards.
Or at least only show this if there is a windup report available to the
project (assuming
that can be detected in sub miliseconds so the menu does not get slow to
open)
As far as adding all of this to the jboss-tools project. The biggest
problem is I still not have a nightly build, and I do not have a
nightly
build for the eclipse plugin because I have not been able to
coordinate
with Brad to get a nightly build for Windup. The biggest issue with
getting a nightly for windup would be to actually do a windup release
and
start doing windup development in a snapshot version rather than 0.7.0
where it has been being done for the past year. I did start that
conversation with Brad a few months back but it stalled out due to
life
events. If you all are ready to make this happen on your end then I
can
start trying to work with Brad again to get Windup versioning
stabilized,
and the nightly builds set up.
as far as I understand Lincoln is getting involved in the migration
project
so it would make sense to try coordinate the various releases with him
and Brad.
i've cc'ed him here.
Blue Skies,
~Ian

Cool. (I assume its "just" saving the already generated html to a
separate location?)
Wondering if its time to include this into jboss tools releases ?

seem to only be available in 360 resolution - got something bigger so
can
see what happens ?
btw. I noticed Windup is added to the ever growing root context menu.
shouldn't this not just be via
the wizard menu or configured first via the Configure submenu instead
of
polluting this context menu ?
