The latest version of the Eclipse CORBA Plugin is now available for download and from the update site.

A new version of the Eclipse CORBA Plugin has been released.
This version includes auto-complete support for IDL types and some improvements to the parser and type model.

A new version of the Eclipse CORBA Plugin has been released.
This is a minor bug fix update - the IDL parser and type checker have been improved.
OpenORB is now an optional dependency in Eclipse 3.3, which makes installing from the Update Site more flexible.

A new version of the Eclipse Corba Plugin has been released. It contains a number of improvements, most notably type checking (making sure a type exists). The plug-in has a dependency on OpenORB, which will be used in future to compile Java stubs. The new version also depends on EMF, available from http://www.eclipse.org/emf

Version 0.4.0 was compiled against Java 5.0, which meant that the class files were incompatible with Java 1.4. Version 0.4.1 has been recompiled against Java 1.4.2, which will (hopefully) fix this problem. There are no other changes to the code, so you don't need to upgrade if 0.4.0 works.

This has been sitting in CVS for a while, and I thought I should get around to releasing it.

The behaviour of the outline view is slightly improved - it now updates when you save the file, and doesn't require you to close and reopen the file.

Also, syntax is checked on the fly, and the first error in the file is flagged.

The newest release of the Eclipse Corba Plugin includes configurable colours for the syntax colouring.

The version number may have skipped backwards, but there's a huge new feature: the outline view. Thomas Woefle has provided this wonderful addition, so three cheers for him. This release is a bit later than it could have been, hopefully the next release will be sooner.

OK, so only a few days since the first release, and not much changed, but the plugin now works with Eclipse 3.0RC2, thanks to a patch from Robert Sauer.

Also, I've reviewed the code colouring scheme and made a few changes. Exciting eh?
