Creating Java Design elements

● Enable Java based design elements use Eclipse based Java interface

● Leverage features of Eclipse Java editor.

● New Eclipse based editor supported in

▬ Agent▬ Library▬ Web Service Consumer▬ Web Service Provider

22

Getting started with Eclipse based Java Interface

• Creating a Java design element– Opens Java Interface for

specific design element.

• Java design element – tree representation of the

resource and source files in the element.

• It supports following actions for common operations for working on design element– New Java Class– Import– Export– Compile All

• Properties tab defines the behavior of design element

23

Enhanced productivity with Eclipse Java Editor■ Java editor provides specialized features

for editing Java code. ■ The editor includes following features

Syntax highlighting Content/code assist

– opens a scrollable list of available code completions

– hover over a selected line in the content assist list, you can view Javadoc information for that line

Code formatting Quick fix

– problems underlined with a problem highlight line, Quick fix can offer corrections

24

Enhanced productivity with Eclipse Java Editor...■ Leverage following Eclipse Views for

exploring Java code. Java Outline

– displays an outline of the structure of the currently-active Java file in the editor area.

Type Hierarchy View– shows the hierarchy of a type

Call Hierarchy View– shows callers and callees for a

selected Java member.– *Currently limited to open design

element(s)

25

Leverage external library ■ Import Operation : Brings up dialogs for

importing Java source file Java archive (.jar, .zip) Java Script library Web service consumer Resource file

■ The invoked dialog box will aid in importing files into Java design element.

• Importing Archives, Script Library and WS consumer adds to Java Build Path

• The classes of an imported library are added to the classpath.

26

Error markers• Errors are flagged in the folder hierarchy as an

X in a red box

• The specific errors are listed in the Problems view at the bottom of the screen.

• Clicking on specific error in problem view will open the Java design element or Java source which is resulting in a specific error.

• Tip*: The error markers are persisted and are shown when application is re-opened.

27

Other Java Editor improvements

• Refactoring support– Rename operation also updates the

“Base Class” for Java type design element.

• Delete action lets you preview the deletion before making the decision.

• Project level support for Java compiler versions

• Basic level support for Eclipse remote debugging of Java design elements

28

supports similar Java interface with similar operations.

• They also show the generated WSDL file in the WS contents.

• - The WSDL can be opened in Eclipse WSDL editor to show graphical view of WSDL contents.

• Both elements support property panel to define the behavior.
