The Resource Selector Project

Dear all,

A small message to introduce the Resource Selector !

The Resource Selector is, originally, a tool that was done to fulfill a special user request: being able to display in the same Dialog Box, UML Types (from Eclipse UML Models) along with Types from the Java Classpath.

This tool has been used first in our home-made modelling applications (relying on EMF/GMF) to allow the usage of JAVA Types in UML Models, in a transparent way. Lately, we also used this component within TOPCASED, for the same purpose.

But now, this tool has been made more generic, to accept any kind of resources processing as input, and this newest generic implementation has been contributed to the EclipseLabs forge, in order to share this component.

Here is a screenshot of the tool. The screenshot corresponds to the "Getting Started Guide" document on the forge.


For more information, feel free to have a look at the Resource Selector page on the EclipseLabs forge, available at http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/resource-selector/

Short presentation

Dear all,

As this seems to be an habit, let me introduce myself too...

I am Maxence Vanbésien, software engineer at Atos Worldline, which is an Atos Origin company.

I work for more that four years now, on components relying on the Eclipse IDE.

I mostly use the Eclipse platform itself (core.resources, core.runtime, jdt.core...) and components such as:
- Modeling components (UML2, EMF, GMF...).
- Code parsing/generation components (XPand, XTend, AST...).
- Graphical interfacing in Eclipse (JFace & SWT).
