The Service Interface and Data Types editors are Eclipse form-based WSDL and XSD editors. They provide easy-to-use, unified user interface and facilitate developers with quick and efficient application development in all WS and XSD related areas. In order not to restrict WSDL and XSD experts to the visual-editing, rich text editing capabilities based on the WTP Structured Text Editor are also provided.

The project is in incubation phase at WTP Incubator. For more details about both editors see the project's proposal page Service Interface and Data Types Editors Proposal.

To get sources via https, read the following git info: setting up https for pushing

How to get the sources (step by step)

1. Install Git Bash for Windows (for other OS get a git client from Git download site )
2. Create your .gitconfig file with contents got from setting up https for pushing to your user's folder (e.g. c:\Users\ditenev)
    a) for commiter: change user in .gitconfig file with your committer id: e.g.: esimeonov.
    b) for any user: change URL in .gitconfig, so you do use HTTP instead HTTPS, and do not use any user ID in URL
4. Create an empty directory e.g. c:\mygitrepo
5.1 For Windows:
    a) Right click on “mygitrepo”, and execute “Git Init Here”
    b) Right click on “mygitrepo”, and execute “Git Bash”
    c) In bash do type: git pull

5.2 For other OS:
    a) Open that directory in a terminal
    b) Execute 'git init'
    c) Execute 'git pull'
    d) Close the terminal
6. Import projects into eclipse

How to edit the sources

1. You can find project's plugins in the folder "/plugins", and import them in Eclipse workspace
2. You may find project's source code formatter in the folder "/development/sie_java_formatter.xml"

Creating Patches with eGit

Creating patches with eGit (eclipse plug-in for Git) is pretty straight-forward:

Prerequisites

  • We have configured the eGit repositories and imported eGit project
  • We have made some changes on one of the files

Steps

  1. Submit the updated file
  2. Go to the "Git Repository Exploring" perspective and open the "History" view
  3. Make sure that the "link with Editor and Selection" button of the "History" view is selected
  4. Navigate to the Git repository you just submitted and select the local branch you've added your changes to
  5. In the "History" view, you will see all the changes made in the repository/branch so far, including your changes
  6. Select the line with your changes
  7. From the context menu, choose "Create Patch..."
  8. Follow the wizard and make sure you select the "export in git patch format" checkbox
  9. You are ready with your patch file
