Eclipse Plugin

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Create eclipse plugin that will
* Create and edit new modules by editing underlying module info file
* Wizard to create hook methods complete with parameters. Hides method naming scheme, instead asks user how wide of a scope they are intending for their method

Hi

Have you got anything developed for Drupal in Netbeans. Willing to share it?

Interesting Idea

I use Eclipse so I could certainly benefit from this, but the audience would be limited since it is only of use to developers and then only those using Eclipse, thus I fear the impact on the Drupal community would be low.

I don't have a good sense as to whether there's consensus about this as a SoC project or not. Looking to get more opinions.

mixed feelings

The coder module integration sounds great to me - as would simpletest integration.

On the other hand, many of these things could best be handled (best as in usable by a broad audience) when they are built as Drupal modules that run inside Drupal (i.e. module builder module handles the two issues in the original node).

The description is so thin that I don't even understand what is being proposed.

As far as I understand it,

As far as I understand it, the idea is essentially to make readily accessible a customized "Drupal Development environment" using the Eclipse IDE. Right now it seems as though getting Eclipse set up right for PHP can be a struggle (Doug - tutorial?).

We discussed some of this at Drupalcon, and while it's overall a great idea, I'm not sure about it being for SoC, since it's not clear to me how much coding is involved. I think that's a major point that needs to be clarified.

This is a great idea

It will readily help new developer's with debugging ... I for one would love to see debugging part done right because thats the only part I feel the need of an IDE in drupal .. Also if something like remote server debugging is included it will be icing on the cake, something like zend but I have not used it myself ..

Could be very useful

Most of our developers use eclipse as the main IDE for drupal development. Eclipse is also one of the few crossplatform php IDE's.

@pwolanin, since the release of Eclipse PDT, using it for php development has actually been made much easier.

I would love to use a drupal

purpose of plugin?

jonathan's picture

Just getting started with Drupal module development, and wrestling with Eclipse/PDT, Aptana, etc. (I love quanta, but.. ) Not looking for wizards, and I want to learn the naming scheme, not have it hidden.

But maybe some php templates for the hook functions? and what would it take to have .module, .info, etc, show up in file > new? and some code assist would sure be nice. Is that done with xml files, somewhere in config of Eclipse?

This is the kind of thing I'd love to see, and it seems a long, steep curve between where I am and being able to write it myself.

Thanks.

I have a set for Eclipse

Chris Charlton's picture

I have an XML file for Eclipse PDT I'm willing to share. I dig them. Code templates for module building, theme building, etc. Anyone have some code templates they'd like to merge with mine to make a better set for all of us?

Yes, would be much appreciated

jonathan's picture

Could you send the file to me? maybe post it?

I may almost know enough to use it, maybe even make some changes -- finally got PDT and XDebug dancing well together, now I'm working through the Drupal 6 module development book from Packt. (Good book!)

Looking for Eclipse Template too for php

macrodot's picture

ccharlton, can you send me the XML file too. This would be super handy! I can help add to it.

I'd like a copy if possible too

I'd love to take a peek at the templates.

Thanks,

Arman.

Heh, so I realize that

sdboyer's picture

Heh, so I realize that http://groups.drupal.org/node/8116#comment-45212 was maybe better posted here...but oh well. As that post indicates, I'm hoping that the process of getting Eclipse set up will soon go from laborious, hair-ripping frustration to a mindless couple-clicks exercise. But that still leaves open the question of a Drupal-specific plugin, of course.

@ccharlton - one of the nifty things about having our own online update system is that we'd be able to automatically provide that xml file (or parts of it, whatever works) to anyone pulling from the druclipse repo :P

Doug, it'd be great to chat with you about what it might take to make some of these pieces happen sometime. Two things jump to mind immediately: I know that Zend Studio 6 has a considerably more robust code formatter and error/code style highlighter than PDT 1 (or, as of yet, PDT 2 - they're only just starting to add more new code formatting things). It might be good for ideas...but as far as I can tell, those specific items are proprietary components of ZS6 that Zend added on over-and-above what PDT offers.

The other big thing that I thought probably ought to be in a proper 'Drupal IDE' is integration with a.d.o, or a local instance of the api docs. Now, given that Eclipse does smart-go-to-function-declaration like cake, I don't think there'd be much added value to integrating with a.d.o - that is, until we get rolling on a.d.o upgrades that potentially might allow for comments on what's posted there.

I am missing PhpED on

tjholowaychuk's picture

I am missing PhpED on windows, eclipse kinda.. is not to great, lacking in a lot of small yet handy features. I am surprised it does not just index all the functions in your current project and then provide code assist for those, unless anyone knows of a plugin for this?

Code Templates For Eclipse

catenarellc's picture

Here is my code template so far for Eclipse/PDT. I'd be interested in additions and updates. Just change the extension to xml from txt.

link to file?

I think your attachment was scrubbed. Can you link to it. I totally forgot to export and share mine earlier but I still can.

I have been working on a new update but also busy with work. I will prep a new update to come this November (so it'll show up automatically when you check for extension updates). I have basic New Module building wizard, and code templates. I have been playing with a Drush communication layer for new features.
